Devon Headen Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I've not seen a recessed ring, but I've seen binding/purfling applied to the pickup route when direct mounting. It can look very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I recall seeing a bass w/ a bound pickup hole on this site a month or two ago. Wish I could remember where the pic. was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 The pickup hole on the Taylor T5 is bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank falbo Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I've done recessed mounting rings a bunch of times. The Ibanez Frank Gambale has recessed mounting rings. Ibanez routed them before they painted the guitar, so there was a paint lip, and sometimes they had to dremel out the excess finish. I do it after the paint so it's a really tight fit, and just give a little wetsand/buff to the edge of the route. BTW, Drak abbreviated purpleheart "P-heart". Which seems harmless enough, until jmrentis eliminated the dash. Then it read quite differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
