Hmmm... you could have him do something with black and silver (in a similar style to the pic you posted) and maybe the red numbers. Just an idea.

Will, the stock tophat knobs already have silver, wanna get away from anything silver on them. But your thought is much appreciated.

Better than having 8 of the same denim jacket.
With knobs, I have the general notion they should match the hardware or scratchplate.
Epi = black knob matching the scratchplate.
Cataldo NR41 = pearloid knob matching the scratchplate.
The next one? You'll see later in the year.
Others can do whatever suits them.

Hi, Aimee!
How did you like the gray and the bronze TBirds?
Love 'em, thanks! Bronze is on my VS CP & gray is hanging with all my other gear related stickers on wall. If the white I just received today has any problems, the gray will go on my AW.

The P-Bird currently has black top hats on it. I'm thinking chrome top hats would look pretty good. It's red, no raised center panel, black precision pickup covers. Chrome Babicz, chrome cloverleafs. Black painted headstock. So, with a chrome 'Bird and chrome top hats, I don't think it would be too much. I'm leaning away from putting pickup and bridge covers on it, not because I don't like them, but because the shape doesn't look quite right to me.
Awfully decent of you Sir! Unfortunately... I don't really have anything beyond a pocket knife or jig saw for cutting, and I'm not convinced I would be satisfied with my own work
I'm just trying to do something a little different, without it looking way off base. (pun intended).
That's why i'm kinda diggin the ones i posted on the previous page.

Absolutely. The chrome stuff I'm doing is on a 7enderbird, not a normal 'Bird at all.
oooOOOooo... I LIKE that idear
Less costly and all fit in the gingersnap tin with room to spare.

I can assure you that if you can wield an Xacto(sp?) knife you can get through a .060 thk. piece of rigid vinyl. The bevel can be sanded and I’ll send you enough to screw up once or twice if you change your mind.
This option might be a safer way to go.
Solid... chrome.... top hats
That's what's already on there..............
Nope! I caught it just before I had to run out the door & try to help a friend out who's left rear tire came off his truck while he was driving (which caused me to miss a Dr. app't.
)Ok, this started sounding way too familiar to me so I went back and checked and I was wrong. The bronze logo on my VS CP did not come from NY, it came from MI. From a guy who said he was looking for a new supplier and was out of white & black (which is why I ordered the white from Spain!)
Hi Larry!
"It's a small world after all" LET'S DO DIS!!!I can assure you that if you can wield an Xacto(sp?) knife you can get through a .060 thk. piece of rigid vinyl. The bevel can be sanded and I’ll send you enough to screw up once or twice if you change your mind.
No no no... you got black with chrome inserts. I'm talkin' aaaaalllllll chrome...like the bumper on my Dad's '55 Ford
