Title: How do I order "Battle Worn".... NOT worn?
Post by: octavio_amzer on October 01, 2006, 05:14:02 PM: LOL

yes the title is stupid but... I just wanted to know how to order the Battle Worn ... NOT worn out. It is because I like that type of black holes with that kind of engraving. I looked in the gallery and the black covers are very different, they come plain with white engravings and with other styles. So... how can I order a "plain" battle worn, NOT worn pickup?

also... are they really blac BLACK? in the pics they don't look so black...

thankyou

And all you have to do is just put that you want Battle Worn covers in the comments box when you order.

One that is completely black and not worned at all. Just that. I can't find a black one with those engravings or with that pole row.

Post by: octavio_amzer on October 01, 2006, 06:04:55 PM: yes but your pickups have the normal silver screwed row pole and no engraving. My pickups will look EXACTLY as the battle worn one but... simply NOT WORN :)

Post by: CaffeineJunkie on October 01, 2006, 06:06:39 PM: having a pickup battle worn is just another option, it starts off as a basic black pickup, have a look at...

Post by: Crazy_Joe on October 01, 2006, 06:09:08 PM: I know what he wants!! (i think)

On the battle worn covers they have those black holes NOT screws or anything as pole pieces, i think he wants a matt-black colour too.

Holes? I think they are allen bolts.. could be wrong though.

Post by: Miracle Man Matt on October 02, 2006, 09:09:04 AM: I think u have battle-worn confused. Th actual battle worn ones are in the gallery section in a seperate post and have chips and dings in them done with a file or something.

Post by: octavio_amzer on October 02, 2006, 09:27:45 AM: you'll see what I mean when they get to me.

I can't believe that only 2 guys undestood me.

what's so hard to understand?

I want the same god damned pickups that I see in the gallery under "battle worn" but I just don't want them to look "worn".

they don't have a pic of that pickup not looking "worn out". All I see are black covered with silver screws, others with pimple like button rows and others with white markings.

:? my god :roll:

Post by: Miracle Man Matt on October 02, 2006, 02:44:33 PM: Yea mate but you have the terminology wrong.

The ones I posted the link to ARE THE BATTLE WORN hence the chips and dings in them. Straight matt black ones with allen heads are 'matte none-more-blacker with allen head poles'

I see you like EMG style covers (as I do), Id ask 2 see if they do matt black covers with no holes ala EMG.

Post by: Crazy_Joe on October 02, 2006, 04:02:39 PM: He wants a matt black pickup with engraving and black hole pole pieces. So it is like the exactly like the battle worn one if it wasn't chipped and beaten.

Post by: octavio_amzer on October 02, 2006, 04:09:38 PM: is the "matt black" very different to the normal black? what is the difference really? I just want them to match my black hardware and don't want them to look wierd :(

some actual real pics on a guitar with these humbuckers would be nice :D
Title: How do I order "Battle Worn".... NOT worn?
Post by: Crazy_Joe on October 02, 2006, 04:33:41 PM: Look in the gallery at the black covers, scroll down and it says something like: these are matt black covers.

Yea but that is just a 'Matt black with allen head poles' humbucker. Like ordering a purple bobbin set with allen head bolts.

The 'battle worn' option is exactly the one with chips and beaten up.... hence BATTLE WORN. Its more specific option as it was initially a one off like Tim describes it... a bit like having burnt chrome.

Im not having a dig here, its just he's getting irate at people getting confused when he wasn't being totally accurate in the first place, which is easy with a manufacture that has limitless options :oops:

MMM

He did - twice...apparently it can't be done as the pickup loses power and definition without at least one row of screws showing
