My R8 p/u's are covered and my R9 has a zebra in the neck and a double creme in the neck...Zebra p/u's are what I like first and then nickel covers second...

It totally depends on the guitar AND my mood. I'm currently on a double cream kick. Double cream and zebra only look good on a select few, tho. Only one I'm not crazy about is Gold.

Re: Pickup Cover's ? Naked Pup's ? ...

it depends....

I have a lovely set of Peter Green pickups by Tim Mills ( BKP ) that are going in a semi.. don't like semis with open coils really.


The BKPs look very, very authentic don't you think?

My new set of WB P/Us a là Peter Green are going to be zebra ( cream screw coil, black slug coil ) for some mean looks in my black LP with Bigsby.
As I mentioned before I don't think my LP is going to look unlike a good pint of Irish Stout ....

Currently I have zebra Duncans on my axe.

I like the look of weathered nickel on vintage LPs though.
