Re: Pickup Cover's ? Naked Pup's ? ...

I ran a similar poll a couple weeks ago.
I didn't have nickel covers as a choice, but I'm surprised at how much opposite the other choices are from your poll you started two years ago.
Tastes have changed over the years I guess?...

Depends on the guitar, but for a Les Paul I go with nickel covers. Explorers and Vs I prefer no covers, and I don't have an opinion on the bobbin colors.

Ideally, i'd like it if the neck is covered and the bridge is uncovered w/ black bobbins

Re: Pickup Cover's ? Naked Pup's ? ...

I think that the plating of the covers (or color of the bobbins) really depend on the finish. But i voted Gold because they add [I]class[I].
