Get the Suhr noise canceling term cover plate?

(But I have not found those pickups overly noisy... Weird)

Quirky. Not something id ever be bothered by. But the customer wants it gone...

Have spoken to him since, agreed that it was inherently the noise of the pickups and nothing i can do without replacing them. Its on his sell list anyway, so i returned it to how i found it.

FWIW Suhr noise canceling widget is just brilliant and will completely solve this problem. Costs as much as s new set of pickups, mind.
