However, I have seen situations where a pickup doesn't fit the cover as well as it should, leaving up to 5mm clearance between the pup and the cover. This makes the distance from the strings so big, that sound quality is a lot worse. Some people say that a cover does not make a difference, some say it does. I believe it is mostly a visual thing, and it may dampen the trebles slightly. Feedback shouldn't be affected, but humming and buzzing is probably lowered a bit. Just remember to ground the cover. I don't think You can find Flying Finger covers anywhere, but music stores usually carry regular "unisex" covers.
