Is this an aged nickel cover?

[T-Bone-BBQ]

I got this 59 neck pickup used and the cover is different. I'm planning to team it up with a JB in the bridge but I want to put a cover on it that'll match this 59. Is this an aged nickel cover?

Looks like a satin nickel to me...

Any idea where to get a cover like this for a trembucker?

They don't have one there like what's on my 59, only the normal nickel cover.

I bought my raw nickel covers from a vender on Reverb.com. Should be easy to find with a search.

So this is a raw nickel cover then. It's just not plated, right?

Hard to say. Could be a cover that a lot of the plating has been eroded off of from playing and sweat.

Raw nickel covers scratch easily and shows signs of wear quickly...but are not usually scratched up and worn looking when new.

Check out Philadelphia Luthier. They have raw nickel covers that are very nice, and inexpensive! Make sure you get the right size. 49.2mm? 50mm?

What a great selection of just pickup covers they have. Everything you could want but pre-aged. I have ordered several other items from them and the service is great.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the Trembucker format is proprietary of Seymour Duncan, so no third party makes'em.

I ended up ordering this and I'm hoping it's a close enough match.

I bought some aged standard size HB covers from them and they fit perfectly. If your pickup is trembucker spaced, I see no reason why it wont fit.

Well, looks like we've got a winner here! I didn't know about the existence of this company; the cover looks like an original Duncan Trembucker cover that's been artificially aged, so I don't think you'll have any problem fitting your p'up.
