I really want to pick up one of the new SE cu24's. I love the whale blue but I'm not a huge fan of the creme binding and pickups. I want to put nickel covers on the pickups, but will this have any effect on the sound of humbuckers when coil tapped?
 
Do it. You'll need to route out a little space for the covers, and of course they will sound slightly attenuated. I can't hear the difference, I think other differences in the guitar -- the strings, the picks, your actual playing -- will have a bigger effect on the tone. Alternatively, you could just swap pickups.
