NGD! Reverend goodness!

This Fano (which is way too expensive for me!) is the kind of look I was going for with the cream covers. Might need to drag it behind the car for a bit to get the full effect.

A guy in Tauranga has a Fano he got cheap on Trademe because they're not a name that people knew. P90s. Apparently it's on a never-for-sale list.

[mr_sooty]

Yeah, never played one, but can only imagine. Love the look. And love good P90's (although I've heard plenty of bad P90's).

[bigporridgeday]

Yes, that's better.

[rickenbackerkid]

yup

[Jops]

Funny, I prefer the cream.

[mr_sooty]

Something about the full cream look just wasn't working for me. It was almost...too polite. I like it better like this, even though my OCD wants it to match. I tried taking the pickup cover off because I thought a zebra pickup might look good, but the pickup was black underneath. Man getting those HB covers off is a nightmare. I almost melted the pickup in soldering the cover... and then I just put it back on again anyway. It's hard being me sometimes. I need to learn that if something's perfect, it's never a good idea to try and make it 'more' perfect.

My Rev drives me mad because cream binding and the Black, (stupidly vivid, glow in the dark)White, Black pickguard don't suit!!!!!

I reckon you should take the cover off the humbucker and put strat style cream knobs on it.

Or get a bucker with cream bobbins

Yeah now see that's what I as thinking - or zebra I reckon, but see I really like the sound of this pickup, it's bloody awesome. Another option is a chrome P90 cover.

[mr_sooty]

There's no doubt that 2 P90's would look better, but having a bucker in the bridge rocks. Tonally this guitar is the dogs bollocks.

[mr_sooty]

Decided to try a Chrome P90 cover. Not sure this photo really captures it properly (cloudy day), but I really like this look. It's the first time the guitar has looked 'right' to me. I liked the cream one but just too confused looking...like the guitar didn't know what it was wanting to be. I think the cream would look great if it as 2 P90's, but it aint. The chrome cover ties in better with the bucker and makes the body colour stand out more. I think I've run out of colours to try now.

[sirvill]

Yep agreed, like that one.
