  • Pickup rings

    Where can I find a set of white pup rings for a DK2M?

    I bought a set from Dimarzio, but they ended up being the thick ones for a LP.

    I need the real slim, low ones for a Dinky. And I need them in white. I've looked all around and can't find what will fit...

        I've got links to a ton of guitar part websites, and I've never seen white, low-profile rings. Sorry...

        EDIT: I stand corrected! Go to ebay and search for "white pickup ring". There's a bunch!

          Maybe just pick up the black anodized aluminum rings from budman and have them powder coated white at a car body shop or something?

            any place that sells them will have them. Just order the lower profile ones. They have high, mid and low. Stew-mac, warmoth, allparts etc...

            all of these are white and low profile

                I bought them from Dimarzio, and they are the thick ones, for a LP.

                I've looked at all the ones on ebay, All Parts, Warmoth, yada yada yada, and they are all the tapered ones. WTF?

                I could go chrome, but my Ghost flames has the chrome, and I wanted this one ALL white.

                  If they're plastic, you could use sandpaper on a flat surface and sand down the LP ones down to size. I guess you could do it even if they're metal, but it'd be a bigger pain. I do this all the time with plastic ones.

                    Get in touch with Mike from the banjomikez eBay store and tell him exactly what you're looking for, and I bet he can hook you right up. He has one of the biggest selections of pickups anywhere, and I bet he's got every type of ring as well.

                        He said he only has the tapered Dimarzio ones, which is what I bought originally.

                        Looks like I will try to sand them down to the height that I need.

                          the lowest profile ones only have a slight angle to them. Is there a specific reason as to why you don't want that?

                              Flat rings (like, perfectly flat with no angle whatsoever) will leave your inner bridge pickup coil closer to the strings than the outer one. Granted it won't be much, but it'll be enough to affect the response of the pickup.
                              You need at least some angle to match the string angle.

                              When you ordered them from DiMarzio, did you expressly state you wanted short flat-bottom rings?
