Yeah, gotta make them your own I say. Even on my new custom GC, I have ebony pins with abalone inlays (Taylor pins) on order. The abalone will match the fretboard dots, replacing the plain ebony ones. And speaking of my custom, I'm digging the Gotoh 510s on it. So, will soon be upgrading my K24ce to those in antique gold. Haven't decided on the knob color yet, but the custom already has gold knobs, so may go the black route on the K24ce.
