Put me down for none. If I want, I can take a cover off too.

I saw that add today. I would like one of each of course! Seriously they are probably too heavy for me now. I stick with the weight relieved Tribute, SG or Melody Maker. Sounds crazy but at my age 6-7 pounds is so much better than 9-10 pounds. Years ago I relished playing a heavy LP but not these days not so much. I could play it sitting down but playing the electric sitting down just seems weird to me but I do all my acoustic gigs on my stool.

Waiting for comment on the double cream bobbins from Dimarzio.

What is Gibson paying me to take one?

Pickups should have covers. There I said it.

I could not possibly agree more than I do!

Les Pauls look great with or without pick-up covers.

To me a Les Paul with covered pups looks like a car with a hubcap missing.

To me a Les Paul with covered pups looks like a car with a hubcap missing. My wife gave me a Faded SG back in the day when they came out and I love love love the guitar but the uncovered pups bothered me. Finally a couple of years ago I had Tim make me some pups for it. Now I play it all the time.

Don't need one. Already have an Agile AL-2000 with upgraded pickups.

I don't like exposed black pickups on most guitars, they look cheap. I do like the uncovered squabbin pickups on PRS, though, they look more classy. If they're double creme or zebra, I think they look great

I just don't think I'd ever pay over 1k for a guitar again.
Playability is important but obviously pickups are easily changed for me
