Cover Size for VB/HFS pickups

[dogrocketp]

After Markintime did his black nickel pickup covers on his SE 30th CU, I did also. I love the way it looks, and the slight loss of pickup bite. I want to do the same to my 2005 CE24. Does anyone know what size covers fit these pickups? Thanks.

Aw, thanks, man. I have to admit that I really like that the covers took off some of the "edge" but not all of it. They just kind of smoothed things up a bit that sounded kinder to my ears. I really think it is a sweet blues machine now. And yeah, I am happy that the zebra look is gone, apologizes to those who happen to prefer zebras. That just wasn't my style...

For PRS core pickup use the vintage spaced covers from Stew Mac

i`m going black nickel from Philadelphia Luthiers. Do you know that size? It`s a whale blue guitar.

Almost (!) all PRS SE pups are sized based on the following spacing, which is what I used for my SE ZM:

Philadelphia Luthier, one of each of these (50 and 52mm pole spacing):

This is for a core model. I got the black nickel for an SE after you did yours. They look and sound awesome. I want to put them on my 2005 CE 24.

If you can measure the pole spacing that will be the determining factor. That's what I did with my SE to finally convince myself what to order. :thumbsup:

FWIW from personal experience I know that both the old school (non-squabbin) 59/09s and the original Dragons are 49.2mm spacing from Philadelphia Luthiers.
