Double screw pole with cover?
« on: July 03, 2009, 12:05:47 PM »
This is probably more of a question for Tim, but someone might know:

Is it possible to get a double screw pole humbucker, covered, with 53mm spacing?

I know you can get the Warpig with 53mm spacing, but I'm thinking of a regular chrome/nickel cover.

Is this what you want Philly?  it is a Warpig with a raw nickel cover (and matching MQ).  Not sure of the spacing though as it's something I never worry about.
So many pickups, so little time

That's the kind of thing, Phil, but probably in polished chrome if it's available.

I'm normally not too bothered about string spacing but this guitar will have a hardtail Strat bridge with 55-56mm spacing, so the pickup really needs to be 53mm.



(That setup looks great on your Explorer, by the way!  :D )

my experience with custom covers is a mixed bag...
i love the look of EVERY set i own, but some of them came very different from what i specified in the "other requests" box... i had some specific requirements for one of them
( http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=16472.0 ) and emailed tim before ordering, to know if it was possible to get something like that, and provided a pic of a similar cover... the result is EXACTLY what i had in mind.
i suggest you to do the same if you need a completely different cover for your WP
Mule, MQ, Stockholm, CS, RY, MM, PK, ANB, CNB, AWP, CWP, PiG90...

too many? ;)

I only want polished chrome, so it should be a pretty simple "yes we can" or "no we can't", but I will check with Tim when it's time to order.

Don't even know which pickup it will be yet (not a WP!  :) ).

I've even seen them in gold.
