What Would You Do?

Black.
Keep the originals in the case for when Sergio trades if for a Santana.

 

[Tucson Thump]

buy several colors so you can match your shoes of the day

I think both the ivory and black look good. Can't go wrong either way. I'm not a fan of wooden pickup rings. Maple, maybe, if you can get it to match the natural edge of the top, but even then...

Would be cool of you can get Maple rings stained in the colour of the guitar...

Is that black, or is it a very dark rosewood?

Edit: Almost looks like ebony.

These are Ebony on this one.

Quit looking at it and play it...

^^^^^ the man speaks the truth ^^^^

My gut says the right chrome rings would slay with that batch of hues. Otherwise, black.

The coffee method is always cool, however, I'm not sure how well it would work on PRS parts. I've done it for some F style partscasters parts and the results depend on who's making the parts. I've had to scuff mine up with fine grain sandpaper to get the best results.

Yeah, I tried it on some Ivory tuning keys. Didn't take very well. At least not as well as the white aftermarket knobs I had.

Best. Idea. Ever.

Thanks for chiming in, gang. I may just get several and see what looks best.

Heres a similar color in satin with black for comparison.

While I like the black rings, I think the ivory compliments the MOP birds.

You know, you're right. I hadn't looked that far "up". I may just leave them.

Hello!!! My eyes are up HERE!!!

 

[Andrew Paul]

Also here is my guitar for comparison

Now black looks perfect on this one!

Purely vain poll. I'm not digging the Ivory rings on this guitar. Not sure what I should replace them with. Soaking the Ivory ones in coffee for a couple of hours would get me close to body binding, as would Maple rings. Rosewood rings would go with the fretboard and tuner keys. Black would work with the charcoal finish.

What say ye?

I voted to try maple but............ I think chrome ones would really work well but I don’t think you can find chrome for the narrow field. I don’t think black would work, Rosewood 2nd place. My 2 cents

Hmmmmmmm

I wonder why PRS offers choices.

I like it a lot. The Ebony gave it a really classy look while still maintaining a bad ass vibe.

You can get your pickup rings in any color so long as that color is ivory.
