No more plastic bridge pickup cover!

According to the Rickenbacker Instagram account, they are dropping the pickup cover. Instead they have redesigned the pickup ring/surround to incorporate a design usually seen in aftermarket bezels, complete with thumb recess. No more gaping hole around the pickup, either.

It's probably about time they design the pickup surrounds to accomodate the "new" higain pickups....

That's great, and long overdue.
