nickel-silver humbucker covers 52mm (2.050)

[LtKojak]

Does anyone have a source for 2 1/16 - 53mm nickel-silver covers that they know are not made of brass, not copper plated, not chrome plated

You can't find'em... the ones Mojo sells are excellent sounding, but there are copper treated. In high quantity production enviroment, the copper treatment is mandatory, as it helps to a better looking buffed chrome or nickel plating with no visible marks. You can try their bare one, I haven't had one of those in hand yet, so I can't comment, but if they come from the same supplier as the others, it'll be very good sounding in a worst-case-scenario.

I also love how Mojo have treated me in all the years I've been dealing with'em, even though I'm absolutely insignificant sales-wise.

I think the holes in humbucker covers may be punched, not drilled.

Took the now-buggered-up HBL cover and experimented with drilling a new row of holes (across from the original row). Drilling does not "look" right.

Pepe, Terry,
Thanks for the tips on Mojo covers, I'm just going to order the bare nickel (un-plated)
but with holes at 53mm, and see what I can do with that.


I appreciate the help.
Thanks, Ed R.
