Can amyone help me find WHITE covers for my Vintage Noiseless pickups? They came with aged white/cream covers, but they look awful with my white pickguard and white knobs. Please help me find white covers that fit!

I don't think Fender designed the Vintage Noiseless pickup covers to be removable which is why they don't offer any accessory sets for guitars equipped with these pickups. And despite the assertions of the previous post, no aftermarket company offers covers for them either.

Arjay tagged it.
I tried removing the covers on mine one time and came to the conclusion they don't come off.
I'm sure they could be removed if a person was really intent on it but it wouldn't be a simple and easy operation.

If you appreciate the Vintage Noiseless pickups for their amazing sound and noise free character (as many of us do), consider swapping the 3 Knobs and the Switch Tip so they match the pickups! With matching knobs and swith tip, the pickups do not appear as distinct from the white pickguard. This is how I have my Custom Vintage Noiseless Strat configured and it looks great! YTMD (Your Taste May Differ). Otherwise, you'll need to do without the Vintage Noiseless or change your pickguard. Both far more invasive alternatives.

Arjay said he didn't think they were designed to be removable. Not that they are impossible to remove. That's the difference.

This what I write, he did not think , ( he is not sure, he don't know because Fender ) do not sell spare cover.
I don't know it it is right.

Fender sell cover for some pickups with their original cover are glue on the pickups, good luck to not break the pu.

What about the link from YT showing a guy remove cover ?
