I have wondered for a long time. I would want a high quality such as Bill Lawrence or equivalent.

Would just like to give my Tele a different look and see what the diff in sound might be.

I don't know off hand who makes an uncovered pickups. I removed the covers from my neck and middle pickups on my Blackout Tele, and the difference was actually quite substantial. They went from being a little muddy; lacking top end, to being much clearer with a more defined top end.

As for the look...I like it...

Never even heard of the virtual vintage, but it does look like they have the option to get them covered or uncovered.
I think a lot of people could avoid spending the extra money on a new set of pups though, by simply taking 5 minutes to remove the covers from their stock pickups. It also wouldn't take anything more than a pair of needle nose pliers and a soldering iron to replace the covers if you wanted to do so.
