Ebay Lankz

I couldn't find any other than that, though I did see someone made their own. It shouldn't be that hard, just take a piece of plastic or metal and mate it to the holes for the HB, than route out your own single coil shape(that sounds pretty hard actually). You could use a PG as a template.

Forget this, Zaphod beat me to it. And buying is easier than building!

Whaddya want one for anyway?

Thinking about one for the Jazzmaster- none of the 3 pickups I've had in the bridge over the years has brought the kinda spanky bright tone I really want, a sound that comes out of the Tele or Strat from the word go.

It might look gash, so gonna do a 'shoop to check it out first..

Perhaps you could buy an extra jazzy pickup cover, and cut a strat hole into it, adding 2 holes to mount it by. Then mount the jazzy cover like normal but just have it very low, possibly sand the edges down a little so itll go lower. Use a robroe cover the same shade as the jazz cover and it will look tidy too. You could probably do it with a junior jacksaw and a bit of sanding.

Best bet from a practical and cosmetic point of view is to probably track down a robroe Jazzy cover and put new holes in to accomodate a slanted single. Although it does still look a bit funky..

Maybe go with number 2 and use a Robroe like James said?

Man, it actually looks pretty good with a black Robroe! Like a Tele! DO LIKE!

Need to see a white one before I decide.

Post by **Doog** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 10:58 pm

I've ordered a set of white ones from Allparts Monday afternoon, and according to their order tracking thing they're still "to be picked"..

I just imagine some fat, sweaty guy in a vest and baseball cap slumped in a chair next to the shelves, reading the Sun. He reaches out for my covers, but can't quite reach them without moving out of the chair slightly. So he goes "Mehhhh..." and turns to Page 3 again.

Man, I am SO impatient.

Also, just won a MIM Strat bridge pickup on eBay for 20 quid and am waiting on my Jazzy covers from Mr Burbz. Hope all the crap arrives here before Sunday, I ain't taking the Jazzy to London :/
