Am I crazy for wanting to replace the pickup rings on my P22?

[Evan]

Genuine question, as I simply can't decide if the white pickup rings on my P22 (purple hazel) are distracting or a necessary ingredient.

I've changed the truss rod cover, but something about the pickup rings give me pause. I can kinda see how the slightly-off-white rings bring a nice accent, but they just seem strangely bubble-gum.

Thoughts?

Your guitar dude so if you don't like 'em, change 'em!

My opinion is that the black would match in well with the darker edges of the burst (and match the toggle too), but there's only one way to find out...

Yes, you're crazy.

All guitar players are...

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks really...if you want to do it then do it!!!

Certainly nt a lot of risk in doing it. No harm no foul.

If you have scrape binding that reveals the maple, then flamed maple rings would add a nice touch. I had flame 408 pickup rungs made for my PS and they're badass.

I gotta be honest, pix and some photoshop would help me out here.

let see a pic of the guitar. I bet black rings rock!!!

Hell no. It's your guitar. Do what you like. You can always switch them back.

Please advise... I very much want to paint the rings on this new beauty of mine. Either Black (to match pups), brown (to match rosewood) or attempt to mimic the FBJ quilt (most ambitious and most rewarding). I have seen such handicraft but have no idea which paints are safe.

I would go with rosewood if they are making them for 408 pickups, they will match
perfectly with the neck and controls
