Thank you Nolly! I didn't knew they would change their colour over time!
I absolutely love the look of bolt polepieces but you can't select them in the shop for neither the RB nor the VHII  :|
Is there any way I could contact Tim and kindly ask for making an exception?? Chrome covers with black bolt polepieces would look sooo good! Thanks again Nolly :)
I also love the black battleworn covers, that might be an option too.

Or order them via a nice friendly stockist like ME and we'll make sure the little but important details get asked for?

Just send BKP an email or better still call by phone. I'm pretty sure there is a comments box that can be filled out upon placing your order, but regardless it's worth checking what the best course of action by asking them directly.

That is correct.

Correct again.

yeah all you need to do is just add your specific requests in the comments box when ordering, or reply to your confirmation email and they'll take care of you.

Another +1 for the RY bridge here. It's everything nolly said it is and I couldn't believe it wasn't ceramic because of how tight it was. Not quite sharp and compressed enough for me but it can do anything and then some, very lush and juicy sounding in the mids and the highs are just gorgeous. The RY neck is probably my favorite neck pickup at the moment, matches up fantastically with the aftermath bridge and makes a great set with the RY bridge too, should you choose to go for something a little hotter.
