  • How to fit humbucker covers. Firstly you'll need the right size humbucker covers so measure the poles to check whether they're 50mm or 52mm. Remove the humbuckers from the body, clean them up with some sand paper, dab some silicon and boom, job done.

    You taped the other coils magnets. I wonder why because it influences the sound? Why not put the tape in the center of the coils as there is also even surface?

    But what if you want to install 12 hole humbuckers … ?

  • @RainMakeR_Workshop

    What about 12 hole humbucker covers? Can't cover them with the tape.

    I'm just looking through videos and I came upon this video while looking at burnt chrome covers. I literally just re-wax pot my humbuckers lol solder the cover on then into the wax it goes, never had them squeal on me.

    Hi guys, just wanted to drop in and say that all I did was put the electrical tape over the slugs. The covers I got were such a tight fit that I pushed the pickups all the way through and everything is sounding good as far. Haven't had "pickup squeal" yet. Cheers!

    Just fitted my first Humbucker covers. Your method is brilliant, guess what 🤔 they didn’t squeal. Thanks 👍🏻

    Great instructions! I just picked up a Tele FMT with 2 open humbuckers. I couldn't find black covers, that would match the black hardware, so I got stainless and blued them very dark. It looks awesome and sounds much better. It isn't as sharp/raspy sounding; more warm tone. Also it isn't as punchy as before, which was what made me want to try covers in the first place. It's perfect now. THANKS!

    Great vid mate!. Did this to my passives awhile ago. I didn't need to solder mine as the covers were tight enough. No way I'm getting them off I don't think lol. Looks much better imo. Went for black myself.

    Thanks for the overview! With 2 Super 70's humbucker pickups to replace covers, I found your video. Question for you, the poles in these two Super '70s are a bit rusted, is this something you would consider replacing these also? Thanks!
