sjaguar13 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Do I have to use the rings? If I bought pickups that came with the ring, could i just get rid of it and use the pickup by itself, or does the ring have a purpose?

Southpa Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Usually the ring mounts onto the guitar and the pickup mounts onto the ring. Used exclusively on curved top guitars like LP's. You still need something to mount your pickups onto. If you have a flat top guitar you could make a pickguard and then mount the pickups onto that.

jbkim Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Or you can direct mount the pickup into the body... assuming solid body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted December 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 The current pickup is mounted in the body. The pickups I want come with rings. Did they come with rings because they have to be used with them, or can I mount them just like my old ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 You should be able to mount w/out the rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 yes you can.you can either drill the screwholes out of the pickup tab or get a smaller screw than the diameter of the holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
