Hello,

Just curious on how easy it is to change the covers on single coil pickups (just the covers and not the actual pickup). I can't find any good documentation online. Anyone done that on the single coils in a Silhouette Special recently?

Thanks!
 
Pretty easy. Dimarzio single coils can come in slightly different sizes (the virtual series is slightly different sized compared to their traditional single coils). I suggest contacting EB customer service or Dimarzio to be verify that the type you buy will fit. Other than that, it's a simple switch.

Watch those springs when you change the covers! I hate when they jump across the room and you have go to look for them!
