Couldn't you just call them double whites? Or do you have to call them anything at all. Hell, just get Jon to a Throbak with coil tapping capability.

If the original #2 never had an exposed double black, then I'd just put a pickup cover on it to make it look more realistic, legitimately.
Having it exposed doesn't represent the original is more of a reminder of DiMarzio and that whole story. Almost like free advertising for them. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction.
Agreed and good idea. Cover the black one since that is all we have to work with aside from a new pickup. Plus, the black one probably has solder on the sides where they made it look like it used to have a pickup cover (or maybe they put a cover on & removed it)........at least, that is the way my aged Page #1 looks on the bridge pup. But if I do that, wouldn't I need to do the same to my #1 if I have them side by side so that they will look like the above pic?
You'd have to get a chrome cover for #1.
i think it is nickel
I wonder if someone could make a vinyl "cling" type overlay (punched out for the polepieces, etc.) that you could place over the top of the black bobbins on the pickup?
I realize you could change pickups to one with a white bobbin; but I would guess lots of peeps want to keep these guitars stock.
I'd heard it was chrome. The pickup in that picture is the T-top that replaced the double-white PAF, and I think it came with a chrome plated cover. I could be wrong though.
All 4 pickup covers in that picture look to be nickel to my eyes as they have the typical milky looking aging to them. A chrome cover doesn't age and would still look perfectly shiny, which that one does not.
FWIW, regardless of how it looks in that photo, it's well documented that when #1's bridge pup was replaced the new pup had indeed a chrome cover, not nickle. There are other photos out there where the visuals are clearer.
