nevermind Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 hi, i have a epiphone les paul maybe 10-15 yaers old. now the humbucker rings are broken. there are a lot new rings available, but all have the wrong size. the inside dimensions of the most new rings are 2-3/4" x 1-1/2". this seems to be the standard size but the humbuckers of my guitar are a little bigger. so i need cream rings with a curved bottom and inside dimension of 72 x 40 mm. i found nothing on ebay, allparts etc. thanks for your help jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy John Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I had the same problem with dogear rings. Then I came across Outfab Custom Laser Cutting Service. You practically design your own rings and have them laser cut out of acrylic (your choice of color). They charge a $25 flat rate for a 6in x 12in piece of acrylic regardless of how many units you have cut out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The ring you need to look for is a Seymour Duncan Trembucker Mounting Ring. There's a flat one Here but you can curve them to the profile of your top. Trembuckers are 71mm wide with a cover on. Stick some abrasive sheet on the top of your guitar (rough side up) and slowly obtain the profile by rubbing the ring on the abrasive. This Video explains better.
