Ok, so I've played single coil guitar all my life and bought an Epiphone Dot recently and would like to upgrade the pickups. I've replaced dozens of single-coils, but I've never messed with humbuckers.
My question is, if I buy a pickup like this, for instance:
Seymour Duncan SH-1 '59 Model 4-Conductor Guitar Pickup: Shop Accessories & Other Musical Instruments | Musician's Friend
Can I slip that into the gold pickup cover that's on my Epi pickups now or would I be stuck with that "exposed" look? I pulled the neck Epi pickup out (a G-400 Epi) to try to see if I could take the cover off, but the cover is soldered to the pickup. So before I messed with that, I figured I'd ask because I'm sure plenty of people would know this.
Thanks!
