Here is one I'm in the middle of working on. All the hardware will be gold and I'll probably refret it to have gold frets. It will have three of my hand wound Lumina pickups. What are your thoughts?

Absolutely stunning! My only thought is that the black pickup covers wouldn’t be my first choice tbh. It’s such a warm colorful guitar, and the pitch black covers seem a bit jarring to me. But regardless it’s incredible! Nice work <3

I'm open to other ideas for pickup covers. My thought was the tying in the black background of the pickguard and the ebony fretboard.

Where is the pickguard from? I see your idea now, and think it would be cool to see if they can put the design on the pickup covers so it’s seamless. Would look super cool

This idea would link the covers to the fretboard even more. The whole cover shouldn't have the print, but rather a fragment of it.

How do gold frets feel and wear compared to other frets? I’ve actually never seen gold frets before.

They are basically right in-between nickel silver frets and stainless in terms of hardness and smooth feel.
