Re: anyway to make a white duncan a cream one?
I did this with an APH-1 and a CC. I brewed a pot of very strong coffee and took a little sponge and "painted" the bobbins. I painted them until I was satisfied with the result. About that time the doorbell rang. It was a courier. He handed me a letter. I opened it and it was a "Cease & Desist" order from DiMarzio...

Maybe staining them with a brownish shoe polish? It works on maple fretboards, but I don't know if it will soak into the plastic.
I found with the coffee trick I soaked them (white single coil covers) for a week in black coffee but once I dried off the covers I wiped off all the coloring. I guess if you let them air dry and don't rub them, it would be a pseudo creme I don't know.

Shoe polish will come off over time.
If you're using replacement parts that are not genuine Fender parts, the tea or coffee will come off. Genuine Fender parts will stain permanantly. Seymour Duncan's replacement single coil covers won't keep the stain either. The humbucker bobbins will though.
