Black pick up rings (surrounds)

[Shetland Jonny]

Please forgive my stupidity, but I'm not sure what you call them so please bear with me. I'm looking for a pair of black pickup rings or the plastic pieces that surrounds the humbucker pickups on a Les Paul (Standard). The are currently cream colour, but I'm looking to change them to black to match my new pickups.

I ordered a pair; they came; but were too small (Les Paul rings are very high).

Any ideas?

Regards

Jonny

They are called mounting rings. Allparts and WD do sets of 'high' and 'low' which is what you probably need for a Les Paul have a look at this then have a mesure of your existing ones. http://www.allparts.com/Humbucking-Pickup-Rings-Neck-and-Bridge-Curved-p/pc-0733-023.htm
Might give you an idea.

If you mean the replacement bridge ring was shorter than the original you need the Historic rings, which are taller in the bridge position. The neck rings are the same height.
