fitting covers to a precision


Recommended Posts

I know the American Vintage series, Precision & Jazz both come with Chrome Covers (not fitted) but the holes are drilled in the scratch plate *not the body* for the pickup cover, but no holes drilled for the bridge cover. The Jazz however has a 'paper template' that fit's around the bridge for drilling the bridge cover holes.

Sorry that doesn't help a lot :( but some scratch plates do have the holes in ready for the pickup cover, if you got one of those ;)

Most models don't come with them these days BUT it is actually a very simple thing to do. I've had them on mine for 15yrs (a fair few basses too) and first time around I was nervous about drilling into my pride and joy. So I got a musician mate who was a carpenter to do it. Most music shops will do it for a small fee - it's literally 4 tiny holes so isn't going to cost mega bucks. If you are half way handy with a drill, just go for it. I do my own these days
