Pickup rings for an LP

[axepilot]

I'm looking to replace the rings on my Studio along with the pickups. Does anyone have an online source for rings that are molded for the carved top? I've found a bunch of flat bottom rings, but no cigar on the rounded bottom rings.

Most excellent, Bussman! :AOK

I just placed the order.

Thank you!

Here are a couple of places that I use as WD is really extremely expensive and SLOW on shipping and Stew Mac is also pretty expensive and shipping cost is 9.00 minimum.

What color rings are you looking for? I may have some I could let you have for not alot of ??

Good luck and God Bless

Thanks for the offer, laflamme.

I'm looking for cream rings, but I just placed the order with WD. The price was right and I'm in no hurry. I still need to order the pickups.

Does anyone know where you can get the extra tall rings like on the Gibson Historics, without spending $25 on a Historic set?

Jack, I only see the Gibson Historic tall rings at Allparts. At least they're not $25.


They're $30! :rotflmao

make them. find something that has a smilar radius to the carve of your top, put sandpaper on that surfcace (a barrel, drum can, etc etc ) and run the bottom of the ring over it. i know how irritating it can be to try and find good rings (esp white ones)
