Mini Humbuckers are a bit of a strange concept truth be told - most people think they pre-date "normal" humbuckers, but this isn't actually true - they came to prominence when Gibson® aquired Epiphone® in the late 1950s, and with it, the designs for the Mini humbucker that had been popular in guitars such as the Epiphone® Emperor.

These covers are in that style - 6 holes for the pole screws to peek through, nicely finished over a base of German Silver.

Closed faced Mini humbuckers are associated with one guitar usually - the Gibson® Firebird! They actually turn up on a few other makes and models, but its the Firebird® we all think of when we see this style of cover/pickup.

The pickups in that guitar, originally, were actually a bit of a departure from what had been before - rather then using a bar magnet and steel poles (either poke screws and slug, ala a "normal HB", Pole Screws and steel bars, ala a "traditional mini HB" or even the modern Firebird offerings, which simply use 2 steel bars!) the real deal Firebird® Mini humbucker used 2 bar magnets, slotted into the housings on the bobbins.

Staple pickups originally turned up in various guises on Hofner® guitars - and theres quite alot of mystery surrounding them to boot.

The most common misconception is that all staple pickups are actually humbuckers (or Mini humbuckers!) - and this isn't always true. Most "Staples" (with the exposed staple poles) are actually single coils, with the staple being used to extend the magnet field.

3 x 52.5mm Pickup Covers

Covers for DiMarzio Fast Track styled pickups.

These are pickup covers designed for single coils built around 1/4" (6.35mm) poles - a bit of a niche part truth be told, and not suitable for all 1/4" single coils (because a lot of them are built with the fibre boards flush to the top of the magnets) - BUT - if your designing and winding your own pickups, and you want them to have a more "finished" look? This is the way to do it! 1/4" singles no longer have to be "rustic" looking!

Single coil pickup covers, suitable for most Fender pickups, as well as DiMario, Seymour Duncan and Axesrus models - spaced 52mm center to center, to take a 5mm pole diameter.

These pickup covers are faithful reproductions of the original Single Coil covers used in the early Stratocaster® - made from Nylon rather then the PVC found on later models, and with a much softer bevel on the outside edge giving them a slightly more rounded appearance.

These pickup covers are designed for 7 String Pickups and are available in a range of colours with 61.2mm spacing.

These covers, are 50mm spacing, which means, when measured E to e,
center to center across the poles, that spacing, is 50mm. (actually
50.2mm, but you’ll excuse
me rounding a little).

These are what you’d probably call “standard” humbuckers covers – in that they have 6 holes down one side to accommodate the pole screws that are poking up through the top – and I think it’s safe to say it’s the look we think of when we talk about covered humbuckers – that Honey burst Gibson® Les Paul®, immaculately polished, all the chrome** hardware sparkling under the lights, and as a final touch of call, covered humbuckers! Beautiful!

These closed face covers feature a raised double 'Rail' design, offering a sleek, robust look in a range of colours.

Available in a range of colours, these covers are both open and traditional, and come in 50mm or 52mm spacing

These covers are identical to our "normal" humbucker covers, with one weird difference.

Where a "normal" modern cover is the "colour" electroplated onto a thin layer of copper, which has been electroplated onto the base material (simply to give a higher quality finish - copper being more reactive then either brass or nickel)

H gate covers have proven popular in recent years when they've turned up on the full sized Humbuckers fitted to the Gretsch® Electromatic series coming out of Korea. Obviously taking heavy inspiration from the Filtertron® pickups that turn up in that "semi mini" Humbucker size, and leaning on the style made popular by TV jones®- they're a nice part for making a pickup look a little more old fashioned then it maybe would with other styles of cover.

These are "12 hole" humbucker covers - weirdly, not as common as you'd imagine, but certainly popuar among certain manufacturers nowadays.

Essentially, its the same principle as a traditional humbucker cover - but designed for pickups with 2 banks of pole screws (whilst not exclusively true anymore, think DiMarzio® and their hex head poles) - 12 holes that will line up with 12 pole, giving a great, modern look to a pickup.

11 Gate Humbuckers kind of follow on from H gates - they too turned up on the Gretsch® guitars coming out of Korea (atleast prior to their switch over to Filtertron® sized pickups more recently) - and again, heavily inspired by TV Jones® designs.

These are what we call "close faced" humbucker covers - basically, a humbucker cover with no holes in there - so they'll cover a whatever poles you're fitting into the humbucker.

You'll occasionally see them called "Tony Iomi" covers, named after his signiture Gibson® pickup, or "Firebird® style" covers (the Gibson® Firebird® uses the same style of cover, all be it in Min Humbucker sizing.

3x3 covers are a bit of an odd-ball part nowadays - they take inspiration from the Fender® Wide range humbucker that originally turned up in the Telecaster® Deluxe, but without some of the weirder idiosyncrasies (like them being much larger and a weird pole spacing!)

Standard style German Silver / Nickel humbucker covers, plated to the highest standard.

German silver (sometimes called Nickel (not to be confused with the plating )) is most often seen on very high spec Humbuckers, where the addition of a cover is intended to alter the final tone as little as possible. The properties of Nickel make it one of the best materials to achieve this.

Dog Ear P90 Covers, made from gloss PVC plastic, available in Black and Ivory/Cream in 50mm pole spacings.

These are the P90 covers for arch top guitars such as the Epiphone
Casino - the real point to note is that the bottoms of the covers are
curved to accommodate the top panel of the guitar, and the bridge cover
is taller then the neck version.
