Outside Covering for Vintage Rail single Coils Pickup

[jstoltz]

I keep having to re rap the outside covering of my vintage rail single coil pickup about twice a year so I don't cut into the windings with my pick. I am a hard player and would love to know if a plastic cover could be used in place of the tape that is used on this pickup???? The alnico standard that Seymour sells would be great because they have a plastic cover. I have a little 59 single coil I would also like to have this done. If it's a custom thing I will pay for it. I play in the Texas heat and sweating and playing hard the tape doesn't hold up...
thanks
