I gots to say, as bad@$$ as those pick up covers be, they look kind of OOP (out of place) paired up wit that sweeeet, clean, nice new looking red body. i'm not tryna harsh your mellow, bubby, just being my realest self.

 

[Hendrix]

I do have put on new bridge on that nice new looking red body , I just don't like the shining feeling.

just like people buy gibson lp r9 , the bridge and pick up covers made to be ONS kind of aged look .

I made the colour harmony in warm colours, so I like to made surface little bits set off and different contrast.

Interesting. First time I've ever seen that treatment.
