Should i change my 2018 Ebony Les Paul Classic hardware to gold?

[Neemo]

Trying to decide if i should change the hardware in my '18 LP Classic to gold?

If so lmk what bridge and tuners u recommend

 

[RocketKing]

I voted yes, it's a nice combination.
It certainly won't hurt if you feel like changing a bit

 

[cybermgk]

I like the look. Gold hardware is harder to source, though. Unless you pay a good amout, the gold hardware doesn't stay gold, either flakes or rubs off.

 

[elephantrider]

I vote yes. gold would definitely spice up the look and add some extra pop.

Get gold hardware from Philadelphia Luthier...good stuff at great prices

 

[fleahead]

Def gold!!!

 

[integra evan]

Oh, and be sure to get all gold screws and gold pole pieces

I will agree with @Christosterone when he posts his answer

 

[Christosterone]

Here’s mine...with and without covers...granted the bridge and tailpiece/bigsby were always gold

p90 gold covers rock btw

but I LOVE gold on black....it’s unlike anything else imho

 

[LPMarshall Hack]

I don’t like the gold. Therefore, you shouldn’t get it.

 

[Christosterone]

Yours could look like this or u could do this and get gold p90 covers
I may go with gold speed knobs or gold tophats too

Yea thats what i was thinking of doing...but also a 3-ply bwb pick guard...it will cost a couple hundred bucks to do tho

Go to 6:14....this is one of the top 10 most outstanding songs ever written imho
slash “floats” down sunset with a black beauty...of course he took the covers off as he always does

nickel hardware, cream plastics, gold speed knobs

 

[Brek]

Gloss black and gold just looks, right. Do it.

Wouldn't the cream plastics look weird with the white binding?

 

[akuster777]

hm. not sure, could be a cool mismatch

I have a Custom Shop Ebony with gold hardware. Love it! Voted yes, obviously.

 

[musicmaniac]

I can't decide I like them both.

If it was mine I would leave it as is.
