  • Gold Covered Humbuckers?

    Gold Plated Covers, and gold plated pole screw Characteristics?
    Need to build a set of gold covered Humbuckers, with gold pole screws for a customer.
    Will there be any Major Difference in tone with these covers and screws?
    I figure they will sound the same, but would like no surprises!
    I have built several sets with nickel covers, but no gold.
    I am planning on using Mojo Covers and pole screws.
    I prefer Pickups without covers, but this is not an option on this set!
    Thanks,
    Terry

    Mojo's vintage golden pole screws are 1022. These are the only ones I've ever used, they sound marvelous!

    Mojo's golden covers sound very well in my guitars w/Duncan p'ups, I can't hear any difference compared to Duncan covers.

      I got agree with Pepe They sound pretty good
      WE are very limited with gold plated slugs n screws
      & I also only use & tried Mojo gold screws
      which is steep at $3.60 for dealer prices
      I use the gold slugs under a gold cover ..........just in-case they they decided to remove them in the future ..do everyone do this as well ?

        Are they really gold plated?

          The gold plated stuff from mojo does sound excellent. Black and gold under the covers, baby! I wouldnt want my name to be cursed for being a cheap Skate. The price is very reasonable IMO. It takes Mojo 2 days from NC to UT. THAT, right there is priceless! Cheers Tom!
