I picked up the black accessory set hoping to switch the aged covers on my Hot Noiseless Pickups, but the pole spacing is different. Has anyone tried replacing the covers with any luck?

It's a frustrating problem. Single coil pickups come in (at least) two sizes, so that you can have a wider one at the bridge where the string spacing is greater. Outer pole to pole, those sizes are 50 mm and 52 mm.

Annoyingly, many folks who sell replacement covers don't mention which spacing they are. You have to know to ask - and now you do.

I know where to get replacements in both sizes where I live - but unfortunately I suspect that is several thousand miles from where you are.

You are gonna have to question your retailers...

Cheers - C

Thanks for the info, I'll have to look into the smaller sized covers.
