Covered humbuckers or uncovered?

pink-pink!!!!

It’s too bad dimarzio has the patent on the double cream humbuckers... They would look so sweet on some PRS..

I am a guy who usually has lots of opinions and preferences.

But on the subject of pickup covers, I seem to have no preference whatsoever. I can’t explain this at all. But there it is, the unvarnished truth.

I’ve also learned that I don’t care about tuning machine buttons or matching switch tips.

But if you want to put strap locks on one of my guitars I will fight you to the death, which, given my age and health situation, would probably mean my death, not the other guy’s.

I go with covers. I sleep better that way.




And I also think it makes the guitar look finished.

I generally prefer covers because they look more "finished" to me. The gap around open coils bugs me. I dig the squabbins, though, especially on trem guitars where they sit nice and low in the rings.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

yes.

I can tell they’re good because the drummer has lots of drums.

guitar with lots of necks?
bass with lots of strings?
keyboards in front and behind?

All signs that point towards Yes.

I don't have a tonal preference. I usually base it completely on aesthetics as to whether a guitar gets covered pickups or not.

 

[markd21]

Anymore I prefer covered pickups. I am not a fan of the squabbins...nor zebras. Shoot, thinking about it, I don't care for uncovered humbuckers at all!

 

[Herr Squid]

Covers are more fancier and therefore better. Simple as that!

 

[shimmilou]

4 with zebra and 2 with covers. I am a fan of zebra due to a certain top hat wearing guy.

Abraham Lincoln?

I have all...slight tonal differences...I actually love zebras, in the right guitar!!! Sometimes, they just FIT a certain finish. Not many, but there are a couple finished that I really like with them.

He's no Terry Bozzio...

Just need that bridge to be a zebra.

Covered and uncovered.

And Pink!
