Stig 1 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Does anyone know of anywhere one can get those creme colored plastic rings they used to put on Deluxes to cover mistakes? I got some from Gibson years ago to replace the originals, but didn't do a very good job of installing them. Now, I can't find them anywhere. Suggestions? I'm referring to the rings around the P-90's. (It was made between 71 and 73. It originally had the mini-buckers.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

craigh 21 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I don't think the correct name for the part is Boo-Boo rings, but I like it. Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
charlie brown 776 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Gibson tended to call them "Goof Rings." They're (sometimes) available on E-bay. Good luck, with your search... CB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig First time I bought a set, that's what the guy called them. I've heard "Goof Rings" too, but forgot the term until someone said it here. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stig 1 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I made my own.I cut them from cram Strat trem covers. Wouldn't that be too thick? These are made of very thin, flexible plastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youdevil 0 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220694871502&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123 in three years of watching ebay while attempting to rehab an old LP deluxe, i only saw one boo-boo/goof ring -- never a complete set. but at $400 the pair, why not just buy yourself another vintage deluxe that hasn't been routed!
