Seymour Duncan Nickel Plated Cover For SH Spaced Humbuckers
This nickel-plated cover brings back vintage authenticity to standard-spaced humbucker pickups while keeping your pickup's magnetic output completely intact. The non-magnetic design means zero tone loss—critical for maintaining your pickup's full voice and sustain on stage. Built as a direct replacement for damaged, missing, or worn covers on SH-spaced humbuckers, it's the right choice for gigging players and collectors who demand authentic looks without sonic compromise.
Design & Specifications
Machined from nickel-plated nickel-silver, this cover balances durability with that sought-after vintage look. Non-magnetic construction is essential: magnetic covers can subtly rob your pickup of high-end clarity and sustain—something you'll hear the moment you hit the stage. This one preserves your pickup's full tonal character and output exactly as designed.
Compatibility & Dimensions
Built for standard SH-spaced humbuckers with 1-15/16" pole spacing (49mm E to E), this cover will not fit Trembucker or F-spaced variants. Check your existing spacing before ordering—proper fitment ensures your cover sits flush and your pickup's poles align correctly for consistent performance.
