I can't stand the covers on my R8. I know I've had it for only a few days, but I always thought those pickups didn't look right, even on others guitars.
I have a set of Shaw pickups that I don't use, and the covers are already removed. The thing is that i'm not really sure what they're made of, chrome or nickel. They have a nice, slight patina on them already, from years i've been playing them, but before unsoldering/resoldering the burstuckers covers, what do you guys think.
Here's a couple of pics, and one of the R8 with her older sister... the tobacco color is a bit off, and it was a pain to get the patina of the Shaws on picture, but:
