Converting Humbuckers Into Zebra Humbuckers

Re: Converting Humbuckers Into Zebra Humbuckers

No, this isn't possible. The dimensions aren't the same, and with normal humbuckers, what you see are the bobbins themselves. So the color is the color- it isn't like Strat pickups that have a separate cover.
 
Re: Converting Humbuckers Into Zebra Humbuckers

correct. what you see is the bobbin which has the coil of wire. you cannot easily swap them. it will be easiest to get a zebra version of whatever pup you want.

They are stickers that you put onto a coil/s of a pickup to Change the color, I used them to make the double black pickups on that Charvel zebra.

Yes, they are stickers, so at 5 feet, they look pretty good. It doesn't solve the problem, though. You might ask here for a straight swap for the ones you have in the color you want.

Bobbin toppers are very easy and convenient and come in many colors. But be careful, they also come in different sizes. If you go this route, make sure you order the correct size (they are measured in total length, total width, and pole spacing).
