Duncan Custom Shop Engraved Covers

[Gearjoneser]

I was looking at the Custom Shop page and noticed Engraved Covers.
Has anyone seen these? Does Duncan indeed offer these as Custom Shop options on Custom Shop pickups, or can they be an upcharge for the normal line? Probably a question for Evan, but I'm interested in seeing what they look like.

Scroll down toward the bottom of the page.

Hey Gearjoneser.

Seymour's nick name should be Engravejoneser, because he's totally into old school engraving using Pantograph (sp?) machines. Because he's the one who does the cover engraving, it automatically makes the pickup a custom shop pickup -- even if, for example, you wanted a nickel-covered JB with a custom engraved color.

So... for details, including price and lead time, check in the Maricela at the Custom Shop (maricelaj@seymourduncan.com).

I hope that helps.

Evan....what is engraved on the covers? Anthing you want?

Re: Duncan Custom Shop Engraved Covers

Pretty much. The more complicated the design, the more spendy it becomes. But if you just want letters or numbers in a font style that he has available, it's not that much money. Again, check with MJ for details.

Cheers,

Re: Duncan Custom Shop Engraved Covers

I'm nervous about the price, but nothin, I mean nothin, would look cooler than my 3 pickup 35th Ann. Black Beauty with gold C-5/59/59 with rosevine engraving. OK, I'm gay. Ha Ha. I gotta talk to MJ about covers only, no pickups. I'm nervous tho.

Here's an example of one of Seymour's cover engravings on a John Bolin guitar.
