So I got my pickups today and immediately pulled one apart. The original cover is actually 2 vinyl stickers. One that has the printing on it and then a clear piece on top.

I actually kind of like the look of it with no cover at all and it comes with two screw holes.

It wouldn't be too hard to glue your own cover on though.

They aren't conventional humbuckers, they don’t consist of two separate hum canceling bobbins like a humbucker, so you can't make two out of one.

They do have 4 wires which allows a “split” mode though it's more similar to a coil tap, however it's not a conventional coil tap because it does its magic without a dramatic loss in signal. But it does change the voicing of the pickup in a very nice way.

Thanks Andies and yes, it is a mail art ticket.  : )

That Watchman cover is cool and it looks like the right ratio of length to width to fit perfectly between the magnets.

Likey!  I really like the sound of these, but not the look.  Have been wondering how to fix that part and your discovery of removing the Lace top and being able to put something more interesting on it is good news!  Thnx.
