Custom 5 with gold pole pieces wanted

[AmpliFIRE]

Does Duncan even make such a pickup? I'd like it to be either double black or zebra if possible...

Thanks!

I think you can order a Shop Floor Custom for a small upcharge with gold poles. Either that or buy a gold covered pickup and remove cover. I actually have a SH-11 right now with gold poles I'm not jelling with but will try with an A8 to see if it's gonna stick around.

Buy a used C5 and get some gold screws. Thats by far easier!

I got my gold screws for about 7 bucks at guitar parts resource

I'm guessing that if he wants gold screws and gold slugs, swapping the screws won't be enough.

I had a Custom Custom that had gold pole pieces, but they were ones with covers removed, so the slugs were silver. Oh well, it sounded great, and that's what really mattered.

Have had several gold covered hb's apart, and all have had silver slugs.
Don't rightly know if you can even get gold slugs.

Like I said earlier you can get a Floor Shop Custom usually for no extra charge, but gold pole pieces/slug might have an extra charge. Not sure if Banjo Mikez price is the cheapest for the pair or not though.
