Re: Pickup Covers
metal ones spread out the magnetic field which makes things sound fatter to many people's ears.
Plastic ones do nothing

Covers also provide better shielding & reduce noise. Without them, HB's have slightly more treble, but since I like warm tones, I have covers on all my HB's. Besides, open coil PU's look kind of cheap.

Re: Pickup Covers
Howdy,
I tend to agree with Blueman335. The SD '59s on my Gibson ES-335 happen to be uncovered, but only because they came that way! I prefer the look of covered HBers, especially on a 335. For some reason, uncovered HBers look acceptable, even businesslike on a Les Paul. But on an ES-335? It looks just plain strange. YMMV.
