Different colored bridges?

Justin Bailey · 03-14-2007, 07:52 PM

I know SPerzel makes some odd colored tuner (blue, red, green) and i know Kahler used to make a red trem, but are there any other companies that make colored bridges or tuner? I think it'd be good to experiment with stuff like that, a shite guitar with white hardware a la Bucketheads les paul, would be sick. I'm pretty sure no one does it.

Munky's got that fine looking Ibanez LACS neck-thru with the white tuners and a white Lo-Pro and stuff but it's all been custom powder-coated.
It would be pretty straight forward to get a tunomatic type bridge powder-coated but any trem type bridge would be a lot more fiddly because of all the small parts and you'd have to mask a lot of threads and stuff.
Munky's;

Buckethead's (not a very good pic.).The Stormtrooper volume knob is cool too;

I think a Black UV with a bright-green Lo-Pro trem and green tuners would look fucking sweet.

I used to work at a powder coating plant and my buddy did the hardware for his drums there. He went with a black and chrome crackle. We did seriously small parts on our custom line so I'm sure some plant somewhere would be willing to work some guitar hardware into a color run.

I found a place in the UK that had some awesome metallic and pearl powder-coating colours but they were really un-helpful and didn't want anything to do with guitar parts.Bastards

I'm sure there's probably a lot more options in the U.S..
I think a black RG7 or UV with all the hardware a real nice bright colour and maybe matching pickups too would own.

Wouldn't the powdercoating procedure add too much to the thickness of those smaller parts in the tremolo?
