Pup's covers swap

[meursault]

Hi there,

I read here somewhere that swapping big mfd covers could be tricky... is it true with the new ones ? I want to change the cover of my SC2 pups...

Thanx for your help !

Replacing pickup covers: because the pickups are wax potted, you might have to gently heat the existing cover with
say a hair dryer (don't use too high of a setting) before removal. Just enough to soften the wax to remove the cover.

From G&L's On-Line Store (Pickup Cover - Jumbo MFD single coil):

Important! MFD pickups are wax potted with the cover on. Therefore, there is possibility of breaking the coil wire when removing original cover,
particularly if pickup is cold. Adding some warmth using a hair dryer or heat gun will make the wax more pliable and the cover easier to remove.
It is not necessary to re-pot the pickup with the new cover installed, but adding some warmth prior to installation of cover is recommended.
We strongly recommend professional removal and replacement of cover of any MFD pickup. G&L is not responsible if you break your pickup when changing the cover.

Hope this helps.

The G&L On-Line Store has them, see: Pickup Cover - Jumbo MFD single coil.
