Fabricator who can make a humbucker size trim ring to hold a Strat pickup?

[DHart]

Can anyone direct me to someone who can fabricate a humbucker-sized pickup ring which would have an opening to house a Strat pickup?

I've found a few of these conversion rings on eBay and Amazon, but the spacing for the mounting screws on those is for Epiphone/foreign guitars, which is a couple of mm's wider (83mm) than for Gibson guitars (80-81mm).

I think just about anyone who produces pickguards (or at least custom pickguards to order) could do that for you?

You could also try this guy: https://www.fretsonthenet.net/index.htm
Not cheap, but can probably make exactly what you want.

Good suggestion, I'm with you on that on as well.

These guys (Wayne) was quite happy to oblige my custom needs. And the price couldn't be beat.

$5 for the standard part that they usually supply, $3 more for customizing the positioning of the mounting screw holes for me. (Their usual part has mount screw holes spaced for Epiphone/Import guitars, just a couple of mm's wider vs. Gibson). They were also happy to cut the slot for the pickup however I wanted it cut. Great people there at:
