Getting rid of chrome. Pictures inside

a sharpie is quick and simple. black pickups w/black satin finish would look good.

 

a mr clean magic eraser is quick and simple. it makes sharpie reversable.

 

in all seriousness

dont know about the back pickup though.

 

Look into the cost of powder coating or having the covers chromed black.

If you're willing to wait for a bigger job to be done it might defray some of the cost.

 

i'm pretty sure it's a drop-in replacement, so routing would be unnecessary.

 

the plasti-dip looks like it has given the pickup a more texured surface, so a sharpie would work. if the plasti-dip is removeable, then you should be good. couldn't find any replacement covers online and the only other thing i can think of is throwing on some black electrical tape.

 

oh no, i meant over the plasti-dip. i've tried sharpie over chrome and it just rubs right off.

 

never seen it done, but i'd imagine it would sound pretty huge.

 

being a lefty gibby, i'd be hesitant too. btw, another lefty here and i really dig that faded sg bass. where did you get it and for how much if you dont mind me asking.

 

thanks. i've been kinda thinking about one of those or the new EB.
