I've already switched them to gold with philister screws and covers from Philadelphia Luthier Supply. They fit great and look great. It's just the hardware on the guitar is worn in, and the pickup covers aren't and that just makes me twitch a bit.

So, I have a set of Antiquities in my mid 90's LP Studio. Gold hardware, but the pickups were originally nickel. Anyone know if SD sells the aged covers so I can retain the look with the gold hardware? Or should I just go to town with steel wool and salt water?

I’ll check what my parts are, and let you know.

i have some random ceramic mag P90's in the parts drawer. How many you need?

So, a friend ganzosrevenge wanted to throw some pickups my way, and we decided on an experiment. I'm a vintage pickup sort of guy, 6-7k on my singles, 8k-10k on my HBs. So we did the logical thing and decided on some Black Winters, blackened edition. I pulled out a Brobucker and a Phat Cat...

Heck yeah. Purple is a good color for a guitar!

Bossman in the shop I used to work in had some projects that lingered longer than he wanted to deal with. Neck breaks, both. One glued and fixed, with finish needing done, the other just a bit of a split from fret 2 to the nut. The V had some parts missing, but I had enough parts to finish it...

Sold a guitar I wasn't gelling with recently, and decided to get a big hunk of semi-hollow goodness. The Gibson stuff is about $4K new, so that was out of the question. Found this little gem in a shop I used to work at actually. This was way cheaper and is in the "Inspired by Gibson" line...

The used wall keeps getting me. Recently I bought a Squier VM 70s strat, and it's been the best strat I've owned. Every time I play it, it just nails the tones I want from a strat. My only mod being CTS pots. The stock Duncan designed pickups are really nice! Second, just the other day, there's...

I was looking to sell this thing a while back, mainly because I was never satisfied with the neck. It was a cheap Amazon retailer. Well, I found this G&L neck on Reverb, and I wanted to be able to move the bridge saddles a bit since they were on top of the mount screws. The G&L Neck is a 22 fret...

I'm trying to retrace my guitar history and I had an explorer copy in about 2014 that I'm trying to figure out the manufacturer of. Being a dingus, I didn't take proper pictures back then of the headstock. But here's what I've got. it wasn't a Hamer XT, Epiphone, or a Dean. Who else made them...

Marshall Origin 20: Here's a lovingly recreated Marshall Plexi circuit. 20 watts, with 3 power settings to keep the volume under control. Boost function is really nice. It's been used in the garage, no gigs. The tolex has a ding or two. Otherwise very clean. 3-12ax7 tubes, 2-EL34s. Great pedal...

I have a set of Antiquity buckers in my LP, and it came with nickel covers, but the hardware was gold. I might want to switch covers and screws to match. Where can I get the filister screws in gold? I can get covers from SD directly, but I want the right kind of screws. Anyone have some laying...

Looking for another saddle to replace a missing one, and also an extra height adjuster screw if you have it. Thanks!

I've been really getting into lead playing, proper technique, dexterity exercises... all because of my severe lack of accuracy at anything above a crawl on the fretboard. I'm a passable rhythm player, really. So, there's a song my church gig always seems to try to get me to play twice a year...
