Does anyone know if the Vintage Noiseless and Hot Noiseless share the same pickup covers? I have a CS Clapton, and I'd like to replace the Vintage Noiseless with Hot Noiseless pickups, but so far the only HNs I can find have the aged white pickup covers instead of the plain white of the Vintage. I'd like to keep the Clapton as stock looking as possible if possible. Anyone made this change?

To my knowledge the dimensions are the same and so are the covers.

The Hot Noiseless covers are deeper than the Vintage.

There are two different covers used on the Noiseless pups. The neck & middle are the same, the bridge pup has a wider magnet spacing and uses a different cover. If you check you'll see that there are two different parts numbers listed.

The Vintage covers will fit on the Hot Noiseless, but there will be a slight gap from the tabs on the cover and the tabs on the bobbin.

It's possible to swap out the covers, but your taking a chance of wrecking the windings on the coil if you're not careful.

I changed the covers on my Hot Noiseless to the white Vintage and it worked out fine, but I've read many postings of people ending up with damaged pups trying to attempt this.
