Pickup Covers!

My new pal from the forums at squier-talk.com sent me the pickup covers, and they arrived yesterday!   I installed them, and they fit perfectly! I also took the opportunity to switch to using surgical tubing instead of springs for the pickups.  I like that a lot better - the springs are so cumbersome to keep in place.   I have no idea if they are sonically better, worse or the same.  I suspect that for my ears it's all the same.

So what's left in this project?   I will certainly replace the pickups at some point, and try some interesting wiring.   Certainly a blender pot.
