fretplay Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've seen a Gibson ES 175 with very fancy chrome pickup covers with GIBSON logo stamped on. Have any members seen these before or have info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 These were used on Gibson guitars from late 1970 through 1972. It was not popular at the time, but as many bad ideas and mistakes, have become sought after years later. I would like to have a set of embossed gold covers for my L5 pickups.

SamBooka Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 As larry mentioned. I have one in the neck of my tele. Personally I think it sounds great. somewhere I read that the biggest problem with the pickups is that gibson had to stock two different types of cover (bridge vs neck) instead of one.
