onebigholiday Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Does anyone know where I can find an exact fitting set of chrome or nickel P90 pickup covers that would fit a '61 Reissue Casino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Try Allparts? http://www.allparts.com/PC-0739-001-P-90-Pickup-Covers-CHROME_p_2436.html Or look around, I found about 10 different places in a quick Google search. Why change them? If it's just for the look, can you tolerate the change in tone that comes with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lengle1981 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Obviously your choice but I wouldn't change them. They look great do the black p90 covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 FWIW - My preference is for the black covers in general, but especially on a sunburst with black edges like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maumarques Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hello, Metallic covers will change the pups tone, cutting some highs. If the Casino pups are in the 6-9K range, it´s ok! More than 9K is better to keep the plastic covers. More resistance = darker tone. Keep your pups and try these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Artec-Alnico-5-P90-Soap-Bar-Arched-Pickup-set-Chrome-/150973664608?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2326bb4d60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've googled them and even bought some, but they didn't fit. I guess I should have mentioned that. I was wondering if anyone have any familiarity with this particular swap. I could tolerate the change... If I couldn't, I'd obviously change them back. It's not my only guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I know it's your guitar - why destroy the value of a limited edition just for a look? Why not buy one with chrome covers to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebigholiday Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 I know it's your guitar - why destroy the value of a limited edition just for a look? Why not buy one with chrome covers to begin with? How is changing the pickup covers destroying the guitar? The old ones will always nearby if I ever wanted to sell... Which I probably won't. I appreciate your opinions, but I'm moreso looking for an answer to the question, can anyone recommend chrome covers for the specific P90s that come on the 61 reissue casino.
