Happy to hear otherwise
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Even electrically isolating the cover completely can be tricky, because not only is there contact round the edge of the baseplate and on top of the slug poles - both of which can be separated with tape - but all the screw polepieces must be clear of the sides of their holes.

Can't remember where though.
But quality ones would definitely provide a solution - maybe clear plastic painted on the inside would last longer?
as @icbm said, how effective using the metal covers in this way is, will be determined by how much of the tone difference is due to the capacitance of the grounded cover vs its effect on the field when it’s isolated - if that retains 75% then I’d be happy
It's a bit of a hobby of mine to put strange old pickups onto humbucker baseplates, and I'd like some sonically transparent but stock looking covers.
