Chrome pickup cover for neck - ASAT ?

Post by jammers5 »

I know this may get flamed here, but I have an ASAT Classic Rustic and was wondering if there was a chrome cover you could put over the neck pickup to give it a more traditional look? Don't want to change the pickup just for cosmetic reasons......

it will change the sound. they use nickel covers, but it effects the sound quite a bit. usually it is included into the consideration when designing the pup, the use of cover or lack of it. also the adjusting of the pole pieces becomes an issue. better to swap a different pup in that comes with the cover.
