Author Topic: Purple covers for single coils? Where? (Read 2665 times)

I'm looking to upgrade an Ibanez RG I've acquired and I need a purple cover for the middle single coil. Anyone know where I can get hold of one? I need it to be as close a match as possible to the purple DiMarzio humbuckers that are in it.

Cheers!

Must admit they look kind of pinkish to me though.

Is the Ibanez single-coil made by DiMarzio? Some of their pickups (FS-1, SDS-1, HS series) have narrower pole spacing than Fender pickups.

The Music Man Steve Morse model is available with purple pickups, and they're DMs. Wonder if they might be able to help?

Thanks Phil - I saw those and thought they were a bit pink too. The middle single will be an old SD single I have lying around and Fender covers fit it fine.

DiMarzio don't sell single coils with purple covers so you can't buy them direct - I checked their site. However you can still buy purple 'buckers new.

This is the Steve Morse model I was thinking about. The pickups are very dark purple (I guess that should be deep purple) - probably not the same as your DMs anyway.

Nice!

Yeah, they're not quite as dark as that. Might have to get a sticker for the black cover instead :(
