Hi folks, 

So, I have a new Sandberg on order, due in June. I was set on the finish, as below but with black knobs :

However, my rhythm guitarist has a fender jag that I really love the colour scheme on, looks kinda funky and two - tone with the cream pickups and knobs:

So then I got to thinking whether I could source some alternative knobs, ask for the white pickups instead of black, and go for a black control plate instead of chrome..... Did some low quality photo editing and came up with this :

Really like it! But I'm still a little undecided.... Which do you guys like best, the original spec or the pimped two-tone version? 

For reference, the sandberg cream finish looks more like this in the flesh:

Thanks for your help! 😊👍

Two tone for me but i suspect you will end up with an equal number of replies for either, so it wont help!

You're probably right! I kinda feel like the two tone option still looks classic, but a bit more funky and individual in a way? Thanks anyway. 😊👍

The guitar reference has a rosewood fretboard, so the bass will always look different.

I would just put cream/ivory pickup covers and tone knobs instead of the white one's. It'll give a slightly more vintage vibe. 👍

Can't seem to find 5 string cream covers anywhere! Plus I think the covers are fixed on the pickups..... 😔
