Pickup Rings - Which ones fit?

[Anonymous]

Great, looks like I need to try a set of flat-bottomed rings.

:roll:

From the WD site description:

"Flat base for flat-top guitar bodies. Angled."

Well an LP doesn't have a flat-top body, does it? Hardly surprising people get confused.

:evil:

What a load of fuss & bother, Fenders are so straightforward compared to Gibsons....

here's what the allparts tappered flat bottomed look like.

As you can see there's a tiny gap under the screw holes. In time I think they'll go down, by giving the screw a tiny turn everytime I change strings.

Crap design by Messrs Gibson & Paul, if you ask me.

Well you can buy the rings with a curved bottom but my tokai and the after market rings I've bought were flat. They do take up the curve completely ,with no gaps, on mine when you screw them down though.

Any diy-guy would simply sand it down for a perfect fit if he was troubled by
that..

Cheers !

If you're in trouble using flat rings, and to avoid them breaking in the middle: put them in boiling water for 10 mn, wait for them to cool down. They'll get softer, and bend very easily.

Now, that sounds like a clever idea.

Well I got a set of the WD flat bottomed rings, assuming that this should be the final set I need to buy. But each ring is a different shade of cream.

Am I jinxed or what? I never get grief like this with Strats or Teles. :evil:

You have some pretty bad Karma going on my friend :roll:

Maybe Leo's ghost is telling me not to go over to the dark side?
