  • Chrome pickup rings for Japanese Jackson?

    I've got two Jackson DX10D's I want to put some chrome pickup rings on. I'm scared to just order any old pickup rings because I'm afraid the holes won't line up.

    I've been playing a couple years and until I started replacing pickups I always thought all pickup rings were the same. But I bought some GFS pickups and the rings that came with them didn't line up with the existing holes in my guitars and I had to swap the rings with the ones that came stock on my Jacksons.

    So if anyone knows where i can get some chrome rings that will definitely line up with the holes in my guitar I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Rick,

    I have an Jackson Stars SL-TN02 (string-thru soloist). I replaced the stock plastic rings which were cracked with the metal black pickup rings from StewMac (tapered).

    The holes did not line up exactly. However, they were close enough that I could carefully screw them in slowly. The holes in the ring were oversized by a mm or so on all sides. If you have a needle file, you could just remove a little bit more around the hole to align them more appropriately (I figured the rings from StewMac are reasonably cheap enough if there was a problem in size).

    I am sure that Dave (Budman) would make you an exact fit if you wanted though.
