What pickups and hardware are you going to use?
I have cream pickup rings and the actual pickups will probably be black. I'm thinking of installing a Sustainiac pickup in the neck position and that only comes in black or white. Black would be the better option. So if I do that, the bridge will be a matching black, too.
Hardware is chrome. Not very imaginative but I was afraid gold would just clash a bit if not exactly right. Maybe it would look OK but chrome is the safer bet, I think.
I have two ideas for knobs:
1 is to use wood knobs that would match the fingerboard. The other idea is pearl knobs that would match the inlays. I don't want those slip-on Gibson knobs that slip off as easily as they slip on.
