Hi Groovers, It's not all BLM and Corona in this thread 
I have a Korean Epi Custom in Alpine White (gold hardware) which has been in the family for years. I'm going to give it a mild renovation and it needs new pickups. Now I'm thinking gold covers to match the gold hardware it came with - but I'm concerned 'new' gold will be too bling. Being an Epi I also don't want to lay out more for the pickups than the guitars' worth. When I see a white custom I always 'hear/picture' quite heavy over-driven tones, so I'm thinking a hotter set would work in it? Maybe Zebra's might look ok. Can you get 'middle of the road' worn gold pickups anywhere?....What are some suggestions?
