ItWasKnight Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 After searching around, I can't seem to find any references to colored pickup covers.. I'm working on putting a guitar together, and I'd like to have green pickup covers. I plan on having a fernandes sustainer by the bridge, and an EMG-60 by the neck. I have a few questions... Can I buy a green pickup cover for the Fernandes? Or can I buy a pickup cover for the Fernandes and paint it? Can I paint an EMG pickup?

Jon Bell Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I'd paint it. You can chose whatever colour you like and the EMGs take paint nicely. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Welcome to the forum ItWasKnight Green pickup covers can be purchased for both single coil and humbuckers and Yes you can paint the EMG tops but I would stick with a paint made for plastic to do it.........

ItWasKnight Posted April 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 That's what I like to hear! Can you tell me what kind of paint is good on plastic? Also, can you tell me where I might be able to purchase a green humbucker cover? I've looked quite a bit over the past few days... Seems even allparts doesn't have them... Thanks alot for answering, this is my first project guitar, and I know I'll be needing even more help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syxxstring Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 For painting plastics I would check out the stuff made for Lexan rc car bodies, and maybe an adhesion promoter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
