I have a guitar that has got pickup covers quite badly oxidised as I do not keep them in my guitar case often. How will that affect the performance of my guitar?

But we're talking about minute changes right? And is it possible to change the pickup covers?
What kind of pickups and guitar do you have? It would help to answer the question as to whether it would be difficult to change the pickup covers.
You should know, some people pay extra money to get their pickup covers all rusty and gooey.
It depends on how they oxidized. Was it due to sweat or just overall humidity? I find that oxidation by sweat tends to dampen the high end a little bit but at the same time seems to push the low-mids a pinch. A real "woody" tone if you will. However, oxidation by general humidity does the opposite in many ways. My experience is that my tone got quite tinny and lacked some of the bottom end that I really like. It definitely took away that "spongy" quality that I like in my tone.
You can't possibly think this was a serious answer, can you?

What can I say, apparently my ears are just better than yours.
You weren't kidding????
God, this place is full of cork sniffers.
