Taking a Vintage Noiseless Bridge PU apart

I have a set of Fender vintage nioseless pickups that have the bridge cover installed upside down from the factory. Is there anyway to take the cover off without damaging the windings and then flip it over the right way? Basically the noiseless logo is upside down when installed in the guitar. See picture. A few screws on the bottom, but don't want to bugger something up. Works fine just bugs me every time I look at it.

Don't know if this "cover" is somehow different, but it would be dangerous to do with most Tele bridge pickups. Usually just a piece of black fiber bobbin flatwork. Modern Fender pickups sometimes use a plastic piece instead for the same function. In either case, removing can do damage to the coil.

The flatwork will be "glued" to the coil by the wax that was used to pot it. If you try removing the top, you will pull the coil apart. I suggest just leaving it alone. Who knows, maybe someday it will be a collectors item.

don't attempt to remove the "cover".

remove the logo coloring with lacquer thinner or acetone on a piece of paper towel.

Sell it on ebay as a one-of-a-kind collectors' item for twice what it's worth & buy another one.

In my experience, the logo wears off eventually.

A collectors item for sure. I've never seen that. Someone was asleep at the switch at the hot stamp machine. :lol:
