JP6 Koa with Chrome hardware :o

[Tanax]

I don't know about you guys but I think this is just a BEAUTY!
I really like the gold hardware but seeing it with chrome I think brings forth the Koa top a bit more.

That is nice without the gold hardware

 

[agt]

Just my personal opinion, but I much prefer that look.

 

[threeminutesboy]

very nice

 

[browndog]

It looks good either way. Never seen a bad piece of Koa.

 

[mb99zz]

Gold or not, KOA rocks.

 

[73h Nils]

Eh... Pass. (Not that I would pass that beauty up )

Needs a 5 way.

I much prefer the chrome too. I've never been a big fan of gold hardware, although on natural Koa and also white guitars I find it bearable

on green, black and koa topped guitars, gold looks great. it's actually funny how much i like gold hardware considering i hated it.

 

[BrickGlass]

I like it, but I love the gold with koa.

 

[fogman]

beautiful

Works for me. On the other hand, gold hardware doesn't appeal to me the way it used to.

Chrome for me as well, course I wouldn't turn down a Koa no matter the hardware color!

I personally like the look of gold hardware on certain guitars though I do not own one. I would hesitate to get it though as every guitar I have ever seen no matter the make that is heavily used, the plating always wears off.

I dont think they are chrome. I think lighting is making the gold on this one looks like chrome.

I don't think so.

If you look at the bridge pickup, the long one, it actually does appear to be a light pale of gold. I'm not sure how it easy it is to capture the goldness of the hardware but IMO guitar center should really work on that because it seems not only I got fooled by this

It does look nice with chrome though. And don't get me wrong, I love gold hardware aswell but seeing Koa with chrome was very refreshing

 

[73h Nils]

Well, I fail.

 

[Tanax]

Well, I fail.

You are not alone
