Anyone know what the covers are called that are on the strat homepage?

They've got a name - and I want me a pair.  I mean set...

I'd be even happy to buy someone out there who's a model maker their very own BKP of their choice if they could make me a set starting from genuine aged white covers.......

Please let me know.

They look aged cream to me. Just specify that when ordering.

[triantobebrian]

Thanks. But bake light is the term I as looking for.
You won't get them sent our like that - even requesting aged.

[metale]

How do they differ? Can you be more specific? Just trying to understand.

Check out the above link.  $300 for genuine Bakelite covers from the 50's.

And these aren't aged. Brand new.
Bakelite is the term used - rounded edges etc.  Not sure of the history.

The only negative thing I can say for BKP and the gang is I ordered aged pickups in aged white. And whilst the poles look great - especially staggered, the covers just had a few scratches and marks on them - absolute rubbish.

But do a search of Bakelite covers - the ones on the BKP site I was referring to are absolutely fantastic. They look like bone, not aged plastic..

Oh, I see the difference now, thanks. Wasn't aware of them.

Can't be of much help though, sorry.

You mean these ones?

[triantobebrian]

Yep.
Thems the ones....
They look like bare knuckle bone pickups....
