Will Covers Fit?
« on: April 07, 2010, 07:51:19 PM »
I have an Ibanez RT which has open pickups, and I'm just wondering if there's enough room for covered pickups

No, unless you sand a bit those pickguard holes... How is it made below it? A single large cavity or profiled holes? In that case a little rerouting should be needed... Ask some friend if they've got any old spare pickup and test it, bkps are standard sized.

It's an open cavity. Looks like it's possible, but hard to say. Unfortunately I moved in September so  there's no one around to borrow a pickup from. I'll probably just go with uncovered.

it should be very simple, unless you don't want to enlarge a bit those pickup holes... don't give up so easily! :)

Black covers with the Raygun logo would be pretty cool  ;)
