btw do anyone know if they could do "custom" uncovered? Like all black, with black screws etc.

Not sure if you can get black screws, but you can certainly get black allen poles. 

No fancy coloured bobbins, though, just combinations of black, cream and white.  And purple - but that's only available in 50mm spacing, I think.

Is it that much a dealbreaker? As Tim pointed out to me, you don't hear many people complaining that EVH's tone would have been better if his pickups were F-spaced. :lol:

Fair point Nolly, I'll have to choose my pickups first though (thread coming soon!)

Wicked  :)

To contribute to the thread, I think chrome to match the hardware would be a very classy look.

said it before, say it again.. the only covers/hardware color to go with transparent blue is CHROME! all black works, but chrome is the better option

Well, that's what Tim told me when I ordered the purple/black Crawlers for my Edwards.  The situation may have changed.

I just measured my Cold Sweat and it's exactly 3.95 by 7.00 cm, at the widest parts.  But they're going to vary ever so slightly.  You might just about squeeze it in, but expect to take off a bit of paint in the process!
