New-to-me clean used P22 in Orange Tiger, came with white (not crème) pickup rings and open PRS 57/08 pickups.
Because I am deeply shallow, and overly concerned with appearances, I wanted a different look.
Flame maple pickup rings (from John Guilford) and a long-stashed set of PRS unobtainium 53/10 pickups. I rubbed the raw maple with mineral oil, which darkened them just enough to match the "natural" binding on the guitar. The mineral oil also darkens the tone, of course.
