Hi all,

I have pimped out my classic from this:

to this:

I like the look of the ivory pickup covers.
I need to get a replacement trem arm cover and it seems that Anderson use their own design as the ivory one I have here doesn't fit.

I guess this is a question for Tom- is it possible to order a trem arm tip and 5 way tip in ivory?

Many thanks.

I think I have sorted it.
Looks a like a bit of percussive maintenance fixed it for me:

We use mint tips with our aged white plastic and coffee dipped covers. The parchment ones they sell look too white for me. Our covers are darker than the ivory or parchment ones they sell.

Thanks Tom,

I might email you about grabbing a full pack of plastics in the next few days.
The ones I have are fine but the trem tip is a bit rough and I'd rather have your parts on one of your guitars.

Awesome! I love the look of ivory with tortoise shell. Just the right amount of contrast. Here's a pic of my Schecter with the same sort of theme:

hey Piped,

The ones in there at the moment are close, but not quite what I was hoping for. Scott Lawing (Zexcoil) is working on a new set that'll be much more suitable for vintage tone connoisseurs. I'll post a full review once it's all done.
