With no scratchplate, I'd say gold.

With scratchplate, it depends on the 'plate's colour.

That goes for maple, rosewood or ebony fingerboards.

Get one of the guys on here that has photoshop to do you several mock-ups, each with different coloured hardware.

Or, you could search around and look at other guitars with a similar colour, and see what hardware looks the best.

I was thinking of doing that but i dont want to trouble anyone. There is not going to be a scratchplate. Thanks.

either black, gold, black chrome, chrome, satin gold, or satin chrome will look best.


I'd go with black.... but what kind of fretboard are you going to be using? if its ebony than most def BLACK hardware!

Seriously, you have to ask someone what looks best?
Come on now. You decide that shit man.

I would go for brushed nickel.

I liked all of them wanted a second opinion. I agree brushed nickel would look nice.
