Looks nice! I like the 2 on the far left.

Agree with the two on the left. The far right also looks interesting.

I like the deep color of the far right. I also like how the different colors will compliment different top woods.

Agree with Dave, you must have a sort of colors to find the perfect match with the woods being used.

Does Alembic makes wood caps for its PUs?

David Houck · « **Reply #5 on:** August 13, 2009, 07:04:33 PM »

Mario, there have indeed been a number of custom orders with woods covers for the pickups.

Mario, there is a good example here.

Beautiful - very sophisticated palette.

Nice Earth tones for the nice tones they produce...

Great idea and I think It would be interesting if they could also be sprayed and tinted in line with the variety of Alembic body finishes.

Very, very nice! These really bring that old school look back. I agree with Dave's comment regarding variety to match the top laminates.

I think a skinny guitar pickup that looks like the purpleheart stringers would be cool, as would bass pickups that color match the maple neck.

Are these going to provide color matching/contrast options with some advantage over the wood covers?

Wow, Dave. THAT is nice!

* Can we see one with a darker cap option?
