what color hardware with trans amber?

[slash]

Personaly I would go with chrome but here is a pick of a Charvel I own in a natural finish with black hardware. I know its not the exact same color but it may help your imagination a bit.

I think black would look great. Carvin has them in black also. I think there's a $10 upcharge.

I like Chrome but love Black hardware on most guitars, but there are a few exceptions where Black or Chrome look equally as nice. Jack.

what color hardware with trans amber?

I'm having to replace my locking nut on my DK2 (because of my broken "plastic" string clamp screw - I refuse to let Jackson live down how much I detest their use of shit hardware on the import I bought) ...and I am considering replacing the entire hardware package. I could get an OFR in chrome/locking nut from Carvin - thanks to the suggestion from someone else on the board, but I wonder how black would look against trans amber? maybe similar to the yellow bengal tiger? Might be cool. What do you think?

It's perfectly ok for Jackson to use cheap hardware - it helps to keep the wood and construction quality high while keeping the price low. It's far easier to replace a bunk hardware set than to replace a bunk neck or body.

While chrome would be a nice accent, I think black would definitely look the best.

I'd go with gold hardware for trans amber.

Re: what color hardware with trans amber?

I've tried all standard hardware colors on that finish: Chrome:

Black:

And I'll add gold tonight, as the picture to that is on my other computer. Black is what I decided to go with, but the gold is really nice too. I didn't care for the chrome.
