where to get an aged nickel pickup cover?

[Travis]

Anyone know where the best place would be to get a pair of aged nickel humbucker pickup covers? I've checked ebay and all they have are brand new ones. If all else fails, I could get a pair of new nickel covers and try to age them myself. But if I can find a pair that is already aged similar to the Antiquities, that would be cool.

Do you mean aged as in scratched to hell? Cause I've got a pair of those!

I believe you can order them from SD. Contact either Bada Bing or Wymore Guitars, both members here. Both are SD dealers, and if they can be ordered, these guys will hook you up.

That's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I've got one spare nickel cover in mint shape. But the guitar the covers will be going on wouldn't look right with nickel covers in that good shape. I could wear it a bit, but I would still need to get another cover to age as well.

You looking to get rid of the pair you have?

I have not had any luck getting SD to sell me the aged Antiquity covers. I'd try to find somebody that bought some Antiquity humbuckers and then removed the covers (likely exposing aged cream bobbins) and see if they will sell them to you. Otherwise you can try to age them yourself or you might check with RS guitars. They have a lot of aged parts for sale and I wouldn't be suprised if they have aged covers.
