One pickups should have a white cover and one a black cover, or half white half black alternating cause if it's worth doing it's worth overdoing.

Its probably subliminal. This album cover terrified me when I was 4 or 5:

That is the Squier FSR "Sawao Yamanaka Signature" Cyclone... Sawao Yamanaka is the frontman of the J-Rock band called "the pillows" and he has always played Cyclones...

In the last years of their carrer, all the members of the band have adopted this white/black style (even their instruments).
Yoshiaki Manabe, the lead guitarist, plays Fender Mustang and Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway (with P-90); recently, Sago Guitars has released two signature guitars for Manabe: Sago NMG CAOS Special (inspired by Manabe's Gibson LP Duoblecut Special) and Sago Rutile (seems like a Jagmaster with TOM).

Are Cyclones painful to operate? Those guys above look in agony.

I thought so too. It's a neat idea, I couldn't figure out why this was a "regular" model even if it's FSR. Then I saw it's a sig. duh.
