Re: Custom Gibson switch rings?

Hmm...

BRIDGE/NECK (what I would use since my controls are set up so different)
WOMAN/MAN
HAPPY/ANGRY
JAZZ/JB (but that's too simple, isn't it? :D )
BASS/MIDS
JAZZ/METAL
BLUES/METAL

Re: Custom Gibson switch rings?

Before ya'll go out there and buy these switch rings to make your own they are not all alike. The Genuine Gibson Replacement part is thicker, and has no adhesive backing. Some of the copies of this part are thinner, and have an stick-y adhesive back to them.

If I was a guy more into Country and Western, I would make one that says:

Grits/Gravy

:laugh2:

Slash/Zakk - if you had an A2p & EMG...

Or in my case: Smoke/Music

I had never thought of this before this thread. Now I don't have enough guitars for all of them!

Off topic: I am in absolute love with that chunky gold flake and pinstripe. The piston knobs are just absolute cherry on top. What the gold flake reminds me of is not necessarily the automotive age of the 1960's into the early 1970's...but the even wilder ski-boat scene of this era. Not just flake...but flakes so big you could pick them with with two fingers! Great job! I really want to see the entire fiddle if possible sometime.

Thanks Luke. Mark (my68pan) makes 'em with stainless. Find him on the Fender Forum or Telemodders. Really nice work from a kool guy.
Sludge is correct, the Gibby ring is thicker than the cheap stick-on Epi and others, they all work, but Epi switch threads are very short and the donut may be too thick...have fun. I'll try get mo pics up, wanna find a better host first.
Also remember, with the small 1/8" lettering, 6 letters is MAX for a decent fit so you can't get too crazy. :dance:
