Wilkinson Platinum Series WVCB Vintage Chrome LP Bridge Humbucker Pickup

A true classic. Nickel silver covers were discontinued on most humbuckers early in the 1960s due to the difficulty in polishing and plating this very expensive material.

It was substituted with brass, and this is when guitarists noticed a deterioration in sound and started removing the covers to regain the high frequencies that brass tends to mask, giving the open coil look that we are familiar with today. Nickel covers not only give superior tone and more natural highs, but they also shield noise better and look great too!
