Pickup Covers?

The covers are primarily intended to supress background electronic interference from affecting the output of the pup. It does, however, have the downside of creating and trapping 'stray capacitance' which in effect cuts out some of the highest frequencies, as these leak to ground through being earthed. Removal of the covers will re-instate these higher frequencies with an increase in background interference.

I removed the covers from the pups on my LP long ago; there was a noticeable change in higher frequencies but I don't recall it being very dramatic. I took them off because I was playing metal with high gain and the damned things would squeal like crazy; these days, I'd probably be fine with them on.
