You're unlikely to find anyone selling a set like that here (though it never hurts to ask).

I recommend reaching out to an authorized Seymour Duncan dealer and placing a "shop floor custom" order with the specs you want. The price is usually very close to that of a regular production version.

Found a 59B Black Covered , all I need now is a 59N to match it .

That was quick! I've never seen one in the wild!

There is another one out there on Reverb but it's another 59B , to bad it not a 59N or I would of jumped on it too .

Just a thought: Snag it and get a used N uncovered. Change covers. You can sell the B afterwards.

I thought about that as well , the only thing stopping me is the dealer jacked the price to $141 plus shipping .
At that price I could add another $20 and have an Ant 59 made from the SD custom shop , so I'll have to think about it some more .

 

[Mincer]

Yeah, that is way too expensive. Can you buy the cover directly from SD? I've never tried that.

Do you think it's possible SD will just sell me a Black cover ?

Do you think it's possible SD will just sell me a Black cover ?

I only see gold and nickel on SD online. No black or chrome.

If you consider other brands for both pup covers, you should have some options.

Third option I did 10 years ago and it worked: I shot an e-mail to MJ and told her my problem. I got some spare parts for free from this nice lady.

What about this? A Pearly Gates Neck...would work great with the 59 in the bridge if you like a smooth, but clear neck tone.

[JB6464]

Been eyeing that one for about an hour now , still deciding .

 

[Masta' C]

This one is a little less expensive to start with and the seller accepts offers:

Thanks for tip on that pickup for sale but I can't deal with the logo versions , they just don't look right to me .

 

[JB6464]

Agreed , been trying to call today but they have been really busy so I'll try again Friday .

The ones I got have the logo...but in black. It looks neat!

Hey Mincer , will the cover off of this SNS bridge pickup fit on a regular 59N with the screw holes lining up properly ?

[Mincer]

Well, there are 2 sizes...regular and trembucker. This is a regular pickup so it should fit. However, I am not an expert in swapping covers so get one more confirmation before buying.
