I'd like to try this pup, but don't care for the look of uncovered pickups. Can a Super Distortion be fitted with a nickel cover?

If not, are there any other after market pups that sound like a Super Dist., but will accept a metal cover?

Thanks

I've heard no. I've had Super Distortions pups but when I heard they didn't fit, I'd never bothered. Nice pup for that application.

There are nickle covers that will fit. In the 90s I did it. I don't remember which brand fit. the poles are spaced a bit oddly. Might have been Chandler made that bought.

Currently i have chrome covers on my SD JBs.

The F-spaced ones will not. I am not sure about the regular ones. I don't know how the allen screws in a SD will go with a cover.
