This is making me want to do a Starcaster now...That looks incredibly good (I also appreciate that it matches the luchador ornament on the tree).

Personally, I think it would look exceptionally cool with black covers and witch hat knobs but I like the black on brighter colors look.

i think the knobs look fine but the yellowish covers would be nicer as like a minty white imo, though i don't think ive ever seen any JM covers in mint.

Do it! (Good eye on the little luchador)

You know, I am starting to agree that maybe a black tip and black covers would look really good...I've got both on order now. 8)

Yeah, I am not sure if I've ever seen mint as an option, but it could be cool!

Ordered some black covers and then realized I don't have the correct drill to open up the holes on the bridge cover. So, that'll have to wait, but I think black is the way to go.

Installed new p/u covers and still a tough color to get right!
