Can you take the nickel or gold cover off this pickup and it will still stay intact and look normal? Thanks for any help.

Kent Armstrong makes a humbucker sized P-90 in a black plastic cover that would be close (looks wise) to having a hum/p-90 sans cover.

Is that it? If so, how is it? I've never heard of Kent Armstrong before.

Do not take the cover off this pickup. The cover is what's holding it all together.
I got the same question from the guitarist in a major band, and before I could return his call, he took off the cover. And regretted it.
His pickup is being held together with duct tape presently.

Re: Phat Cat
I took the cover off of one of mine to remove some windings... I wanted a cleaner version of the neck pickup... around 7k.
Big mistake... it's now going to cost around $60.00 to get it rewound in the Custom Shop!

Re: Phat Cat
^How are the Rio Grande ones?
And the reason I wanna take it off is because I'm putting it into a Fender Strat HH guitar and it would look really stupid with a shiny covered pickup on it.

Looks pretty cool to me. There's nothing wrong with chrome-covered bucker size pickups in a Fender...:smokin:

Re: Phat Cat
I'm really diggin' that Fat Bastard right now, sounds really good. I think I'm goin' with a Fat Bastard (B) and Bastard (N) combo. Sound good?
And báratta, that tele looks fine, but the strat with the chrome pups is really ugly IMO.

Just for illustration purposes.:naughty: I'm glad that you found my super-dooper PS work to be amusing. Hmm, perhaps it's time for me to install a floyd and a trio of pink anodised lipstick pickups.That is because it is mine, and some funny dude made it look all wrong in some bad photoshop attack

Re: Phat Cat
If you don't know what you are doing, don't take off its cover.
I've added some #42 wire to my bridge phatcat (8.90K), and got it tapped to work at ~11.00K mode as well. I loved the results, but that whole thing wasn't easy. I have to confess that there were times when I was really angry and frustrated and I wanted to throw away that beautiful pickup! :smack: Closing it up was a pain in the neck.

PS. Due to squealing, I had to open it up again. :yell: Luckily it worked. :smokin:
