Suhr Raw Nickel vs Motor City Pickups raw nickel covers?

[crankster]

Does anybody have a photo comparing the covers of these pickup? Wondering if I put a Suhr raw nickel in the neck would it match my MCP?

Could you swap to one or the other company's covers for unity, or pick a brand that has better covers and swap both pickups, to that brand?

I dont think id be able to get a Suhr cover seperately, and I want to avoid buying another MCP simply based on the cost.

Best to ask Wade, but the believe he uses 49.2mm. Whereas the Suhr would have a 50mm cover for the neck. There isn't really a standardization. Over the counter covers come in 49.2mm, 50mm, 52mm, and 53mm. Dimarzio width are even different than those. You should be able to get a raw nickel cover for $10 once you validate the size, but will likely need to wax dip the cover to prevent microphonic
