I have always changed something on my American strats to "make it mine". On my American Deluxe, I did not care the gold pickguard and changed it.The neck an S-1 switching is great. I changed the control knobs and 5 way selector plastic to parchment, but was told the SCN pickup covers were not available. Mine are black. Is there any way to purchase the pickup covers in Parchment? I purchased the S-1 volume knob, and other matching plastic.

The SCN pickup covers are not removable.

Apologies for contradicting but I have had one apart.
If you are very carefull you can get the cover off.
I do a lot of electronics work.
They are esp tight around the screw mounts but they do come off.
Where you would get a replacement cover though is another question entirely!
:D

I note Jimmy jame's comment, but in all honesty you should consider them to be a dedicated one piece unit. I completely destroyed an SCN pickup just trying to disassemble it for the smallest of repairs (lead out wire from the coil was too short to work with). And I am a careful and methodical worker. God knows how Jimmy did it. And of course - as he makes the point - where will you find a replacement top?

Can you colour the existing pickup in some way? Maybe enamel paint? Probably not a good result, but just a thought..
