swleary Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 From what I read , they are an exact reproduction of the original rings... Here is the site for them...hope R9 don't see this post lol Pickup rings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 From what I read ' date=' they are an exact reproduction of the original rings...[/quote'] Actually, the were the original pickup rings. There are, of course, modern reproductions but usually when someone talks about an M69 they mean an original '57-'60 ring. As these can get damaged/replaced/broken fairly easily real ones change hands for stupid sums of money. But then again so do the instruments they come from!

Andre S Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Oh, so the ones now are just reproductions? Because I saw that my pickup rings have M-69 underneath so I was wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yea, LPF has some hardcore members for sure, a lot of knowledge over there but sometimes too much. I loved the post of fading guitars, the scientific explanation of that dude is incredible. I enjoyed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yea' date=' LPF has some hardcore members for sure, a lot of knowledge over there but sometimes [b']too much[/b]. Yeah, what's the word I'm looking for? Esoteric? Obscure? Arcane? Hmmmm.... Yeah, some of those guys can really get out there on a tangent. I've seen from pretty far-fetched claims, swearing about the tonal effects of some pretty mundane stuff. Damping effects of different materials for the shirt(s) you're wearing. Sitting or standing while playing. Color of the string ball ends, etc. (Okay, I made that last one up just to mess with people....) Just for kicks, I consulted my handy thesaurus to what else pops up to describe that concept of logic; Inscrutable Vacuous Inane Innocuous Unfathomable Enigmatic Incomprehensible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
