Title: Burned black covers?
Post by: indysmith on October 28, 2005, 02:33:23 AM

Are the black covers just like nickel ones painted black? if so , when you burned them, would you be able to get the same blue effect peaking thru the black? i guess that the paint would probably just melt and bubble and smell bad and make a mess, lol. Might be worth a try though! :twisted:

The Black is powder coated over raw nickel... Covers must be chrome plated to change colour with heat. Black covers would just set on fire.

There's something very rock n' roll about having burning pickups in your guitar. :D

indeed there is! lol. might need to wear some quality gloves while playing though!
If you had a plain wood guitar, and yu set the pups on fire, and yu held it with them burning for a while, and then changed them, leaving the burn marks on the bare wood of the guitar- that would look awesome!

That would look cool, wouldn't it. After the burning you could install a set of burnt chrome pickups. :)
