Capots pour micros kinman

Pickup Covers:
As of mid November '00 I am supplying a new pickup cover with my Strat pickups. It can be ordered with or without a logo and is made of a special plastic that can be stained with Tea or Coffee for that aged look. Follow the link to a full description.

These are available in two magnet spacings as illustrated below. Before ordering please determine which spacing your pickups are.

Removing covers:
With extreme care push both outside magnets simultaneously into the cover with your thumbs, while holding the cover's mounting ears. The magnets will recede about 1mm. Now pinch both ends of the cover between thumb and forefinger of one hand and both ends of the base plate similarly in the other hand. Then gently and slowly wriggle the cover straight off the pickup keeping the cover parallel to the pickup, or damage may result. The two half-round ends of the metal shields should press lightly onto the inside of the replacement cover to prevent microphonic whistle. With the advent of my NEW Covers it is no longer necessary to use other Brands of covers because my new ones can be aged artifically (follow this link for more info pickup cover ), and can even be ordered already aged. BEWARE of non-Fender covers as these are often smaller than original Fenders. Tokai and other Japanese covers for example are a very tight fit onto a Kinman bobbin and may destroy the upper coil upon removal. Return to us for repair if damage results.
