Open coils - fancy a cheap and easy colour change? Info share...

bad_alice

Hi everyone.
I've spent my spare time over the last month or so working on transforming my 2009 Gibson LP Standard into a guitar that looks like one that's been around since the 60s. And yes, you can use the word "relic" liberally here if it makes you happy.

I might make a thread about my adventures in relic land if anyone shows interest but, for now, I wanted to share an easy and CHEAP (woo hoo!) way to change any open coils you might have to another colour/s entirely.
Long story short, I currently have a Monty's Underwound PAF in double cream in the neck position of my LP and a Seymour Duncan AlNiCo II Slash (zebra) in the bridge. I've been hankering for that double cream look I both positions for a while but...I really love the Slash humbucker in the bridge so...what to do?
I wandered over to eBay and found these:

Obviously, I bought a set of the cream ones.

I got some pink ones for Christmas for my yellow RG & some disappearing Pyramid inlays ones

I wish I had found cream ones while looking a couple of years ago.  All I could find were vibrant colours and ones that looked like fishing lures.  It seems quite expensive for what they are, and it probably only costs the seller about £1 to make them, but it would have been a lot less hassle than having to make one of my own (zebra to double cream like you) from a sticker I found that had a cream area just large enough.
