Looking a set of Nickle Les Paul Pickup Covers.
Dont mind if theyre aged or new looking.
Dimensions between pole-piece centres is 50mm so whatever ones fit that.

Thanks

Do you know are they easy to fit?

I bought their 49.2mm for my bare knuckles (so do check for exact spacing you need) - but yeah fine.  I added a bit of (double sided) tape where the slug coil would go, and got the covers as tight as possible to the top of the pickup. Bit of pressure to the sides, then make solder joints To fix base to the cover ... and hope you don’t get microphonics from the cover!
Only way to be sure would be to wax pot at this point, but hopefully bit of tape will be adequate...

This method is simple - and works well...
