Does anyone know whether it's possible to find replacement covers for the Vintage (or Hot) Noiseless Strat pickups in white (as opposed to aged white)?

I bought some antique white Vintage Noiseless pickups for my Strat, which has a white pearl pickguard and white knobs. I thought I could use some white pickup covers that I have, but they don't fit. The VN pickups are not as deep, and the holes don't line up the same.


See how different they are?

I love the white pearl pickguard on my guitar, and I'm not keen to change it for antique pearl. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Hi RR: that had me hunting around a bit. Are the ones on the lower left of this page what you are after?

If so, note that they list different ones for bridge and for neck and middle.

Bit hard to see in those little photos, though...

PS $18 for three plastic covers - man!!

I thought fender said you cannot replace noiseless, lace sensor, or SCN noiseless pickup covers. Something about they don't come off without risking damage to the pickup???

Actually, they pop right off. I don't think I damaged them. I guess I'll find out once I install them, right?

Ceri, you have saved my bacon. Thank you! Yes, it's a little expensive for pickup covers, but it's still cheaper than a pickguard. Whatcha gonna do.

Okay. I've ordered the new pickup covers. I'm reasonably confident they'll match.



Thanks again for your help, Ceri!

Update: The replacement pickup covers arrived yesterday, and they fit perfectly! Thanks again for your help, Ceri.

Now if only the new saddles I ordered would get here so I can get to work...
