If I understand what you're asking, you're wanting to put a cover with pole piece holes, onto a pickup that doesn't have pole pieces. That could look a little strange. I suppose you could cut the heads off of some screws and glue them into the holes to give the illusion of pole pieces.

Not sure how that would look.

Are you really sure you want a Livewire Heavy Metal? Those things are so hot they distort and feedback on a clean channel.

I wonder if Seymour just made that pickup for sh*ts and giggles...
