humbuckers
how does the sound differ between a covered humbucker and an open humbucker?
# 1
The covers are made of either brass or plastic, which have no effect on the magnetic properties, and therefore no effect on the sound.
There is some 'Golden Ears' placebo effect, which results in people claiming that uncovered pickups sound more 'open' or 'airy', but that's all ****e.
