Description Technical Specs
 
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.

Its worth that noting that colour options are limited with these parts, so its black and white as normal, and with "aged white" being the only other offering- the annoying thing is, Aged white doesn't really correspond to any colour in PVC - its somewhere between "vintage" and "Ivory" but neither really match up all that closely (this is actually a common "thing" on the original Stratocaster® too - with the white covers aging relatively quickly (becoming "aged white" for all intents and purposes!) but the (presumably) PVC knobs staying a crisp white.

Further more - the sizes are actually a little weird, at 52.8mm pole centres - which is slightly wrong (vintage single coils being spaced at 52.5mm centres) - but, they do work. I can only assume that the covers were simply slightly oversized in the early days to accommodate the fiber boards deforming during winding (which would explain the slightly oversized holes too) - presumably, as the manufacturing process became better understood, the tolerances on the covers became tighter (PVC covers being spaced at 52.2m) - either way, we've tested these on 52mm single coils with 3/16" poles AND 5mm, and they both fit without any trouble.
