Hey folks, finishing up a guitar build with HSH Seymour Duncan picksups, but the white single coil doesn’t look very good with the gold humbuckers. Anyone know of a gold single coil pickup that matched the exact specs of a middle Seymour Duncan? More precisely an Anitqhity 2 Surfer? I tried a couple off Amazon. One had the spacing off, the other didn’t align with the screws properly. Real headache trying to find a perfect one.

Get a black single coil cover.
I've never had much problem finding the covers that I wanted. Sometimes, like you said, the screw spacing may be a little off but that can be corrected by filing the outer holes a bit until it fits (that is, if the spacing is only off by 1-2 mm). It won't even be noticed except upon close examination, which will probably never be done.
Definitely won’t work, getting rid of all the black on the guitar for a nice gold/white look
I’ll try the guyker ones of Amazon. Maybe the other brands are just too cheap to make it accurate each time

You'll never get a "nice gold" look. Mostly because it's never gold, it's some awful coppery-looking junk that only looks worse with age.

I don't know how "Antiquity 2 Surfer" it would sound, but you could always try the Lari Basilio middle pup.
