frankie Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Do you have to have humbucker rings for humbuckers?? I was planning on putting burstbuckers on my 12 string i'm gonna build. I was kinda hoping to do like an assembled pickguard kinda like fender. Can i do that, or do i have to pickguard around the pickup rings.. and does anyone have pics of anyone that's done that before??? Cause i've never seen it...

nonamemx Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 no. You can have pickup rings. or you can have the pickups attatched to a pickguard or you can have the pickups in a pickup ring surrounded by a pickguard or you can have the pickups mounted onto the body or you can have the pickups mounted to the body and a pickguard . . ect.

Jon Bell Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I was working on somebody's Epiphone SG recently, both humbuckers were mounted directly into the pickguard without using rings. It was one of the cheapy bolton neck type and I'm sure there are loads of pictures of them on guitarshops' sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Headen Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Fat strats have HBs, no? Mounted to the pickguard. I'm more for rings, but that's just cause I like to see more wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
