Hi
new user here.
I recently bought a brown sugar neck with gold cover to add to a warmoth tele with fralin blues special bridge.
I found it far too warm, and lacking in volume and I phoned tim, panicking slightly!!
He explained to me just how much the cover affects the pickup tone, and offered to remove it for me - and did so in double quick time for no charge. All I can say is what a difference! chalk & cheese - Its like a really nice start pickup - full bodied tone, but with plenty of highs, and the volume improvement is such that i had to drop it right down to balance with the fralin bridge!
What i heard originally as rather a muddy muffled sound is still available at a twist of the tone knob, but at a decent volume level!
Id like to thank Tim for great service, and a great product - i feel im hearing the pickup now as its supposed to sound, and to everyone out there who loves the look of the neck pickup cover, id say leave it off, youre losing so much tone and volume its unbelievable!
