I think the gold hardware looks absolutely terrible here. Maybe if the knobs had gold inserts?

That's so close to being my favourite guitar in the world, but fails (miserably) due to gold hardware, and the fact I know the pickups are ultra dissapointing. Also, I think that's not even a genuine shot, but rather a potatoshopped image of the regular guitar with nickel harware; the gold looks worse even than you'd expect it to.

I've started to really like gold hardware on certain guitars. Not on this, though. It just looks a bit odd on a regular telecaster. Makes an infinite amount of sense on something that is generally a little more splashy like a Stratocaster or a greenburst Marquee.

I don't know what it is about Telecasters, but they just can't have gold hardware. It looks wrong.

Gold only works on SGs.

Great guitar ruined by that hardware.

I really like those pickups despite a lot of people really disliking them.

Depends on the guitar. Gold hard ware looks lush with a bit of age to it.

I it was the red version, maybe it would look good with the gold.

That's actually one off my favorite guitars. When i get my single coil guitar i might sell my custom deluxe and buy this one, without the gold.

Gold Hardware or not, I sitll think it looks hot. I'd prefer nickel, but I'd deal with having gold.

Gold on White looks good, but that's about it. A Third WRHB would be cool as well.
