I am a beginner so please excuse me my ignorance.
This is my first electric guitar, an Ibanez AM53.
I love it so far.
Is it possible, and is there any benefit to adding a cover to these pickups?
Thanks
David
Hi David, warm welcome!
Sure you can install pickup covers but there will be some soldering involved so honestly I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really hate the uncovered look. The point of covers is to protect the coils and prevent stuff getting into the pickup, and of course looks.
If I were you I’d just leave it as is, it’s a beautiful guitar. Congrats!

Hi David,
Welcome to the community.
I have the same wish for my guitar and as far as I have seen it is an easy job and I will apply them soon.
It indeed requires a bit of soldering, but only to keep the covers in place. I am quite used to soldering, so no big issue for me there. Could differ from person to person of course.
Youtube is full of howto’s on what way to do this.
