I've used nickel covered Super II's on a number of builds and really like them. I haven't noticed any significant difference in the sound so for me it was about the aesthetic. I know that in the early 80's there were several color combos on Tiger. I never noticed until today that in 1983 he used a set of covered pickups. Does anyone know if there were the usual Super II's or a brief experiment with something different?
