Title: pickup covers for black hawk?
Post by: hopkinwfg on August 25, 2012, 03:37:00 AM: hi was wondering if I could accomdate a pickup cover for the black hawk on it?.. if yes is there a chance of opting a no hole pickup cover for a burnt chrome?

would a pickup cover be able to fit in nicely for a direct mount guitar stock with seymour duncan pickups?

No, no, and you'd need to wax pot the SD's first.

Every covered pickup from any company undergoes wax potting unless specified. It helps reduce feedback. BK does make some pickups unpotted if you want. I don't know which though.

True, all of the Vintage series humbuckers are available unpotted. The PG Blues are only available unpotted.

lets say if black hawk is able for a burnt chrome cover a non hole type would be cool ..

I'm not sure if I understood that question but I'll try to answer it anyway.
The Blackhawks can not have any pickup covers because they will not fit and largely sacrifice tone.
Any other Bare Knuckle pickup is available with any pickup cover than you want that Bare Knuckle offer.

What he said earlier!

You can NOT have a cover on a black hawk
You can have a choice of cover on any other BKP pickup

You can't buy covers from BKP to fit on other makes of pickup
