Humbucker Covers

[GregP]

I can't decide between classic nickel humbucker covers with holes, or nickel covers without holes.

I know it's a personal thing, and it's up to me, and all that... but I'm torn.

For the sake of argument, assume that the guitar is an all-black 335. Would no holes look cool? Would the tone be adversely affected? Opinions? Observations?

I think no holes looks better.

I got impatient, as I am wont to. I ordered without holes.

What's the worst thing that could happen? I hate it and order replacements? Life will not end and I'll have a set of hole-free covers for a future project. More likely, I'll think they look sweet.

I didn't know there are hb covers without holes available, since the only pickups that look like that are Tony Iommi Signature Gibson humbuckers. Where did you find those covers?

you could always just drill 6 holes in it later. lol.

I just got them from Universal Jems. Click the link for "covers" (the picture shows 3 single coils, but there are 'bucker covers in there, too) and discover every combination you could need. ;-)
