    Here's how to fit covers. Just work backwards for removal.

    Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience

    We are always talking about tinkering with pickups things like swapping mags,mixing coils and building hybrids, swapping poll types ect over on the Duncan board. Here is a thread on swapping covers http://www.seymourduncan.com/forum/s...d.php?t=168545
    The best one I have found though is this one on mag swaps. It also goes pretty in depth on how to remove and replace the cover.

    BTW there are a number of us over there who are BIG fans of the Alnico 8 mag in particular in the Custom wind. So many of us were fans of the A8 Duncan first did a forum only Crazy 8 pickup then released the Alt 8 as a full production pickup. The Custom 8 however is still my personal fave and lives in the bridge position on 4 of my guitars:. It's IMO the ultimate hairband toned pickup : :

    Good luck bro on the cover and poll replacement. For info on that kind of stuff check out the Duncan Board. It's one of the better forums around for helpful info on pickups and wiring + just an overall solid group of folks: .
