I am a person who purchases guitars from the forum who sees potential in old or stock guitars and have them modded to look and sound better.

Please share pictures of your guitars which can give inspiration to others that their guitars still have the life in them  to be proud of.

Thanks.

We are of like mind, sir... I enjoyed modding my cheap guitars, but eventually had to give them up when I was told I had one too many...

Here's one mean-sounding H-S-H strat copy for classic rock... with a Gibson '57 Classic neck pickup and a Gibson Tony Iommi Sig bridge pickup


and a Squier Affinity Tele souped up with a fat-sounding SD Vintage '54 bridge pup, a bluesy Fender Orig. Vintage neck pup, and a 5-position switch for additional series and OOP tones...

Here's my first guitar:
A stock Ibanez Gio  .... paid $149 for it.


Added Grover's Locking tuners, Dimarzio Freds and Paf PROs and a mid boost preamp switch...which is like an on board wah. You don't have to go to you amp to adjust your mids.

I make kis kis the body to change the color to desert  yellow using a spray paint.... 3 coatings while kis kissing to smoothen it ... then at the end sprayed clear coating to protect the paint.





now it looks like this..... my shredding machine.



and it sounds like this.....

due to people who are allergic to pics of high end guitars....this post is edited


to answer the question..... for this type of pickup no? you can't change the cover. I don't want to change it coz I don't even play it a lot anymore.....
