Help finding trembucker ring on cream.

[J.P. Tosxa]

I ordered a JB Trembucker but I can't find the ring in cream version on the store. If Seymour doesn't sell this, what would be a good option? the ones that I had by default are standard size and they won't fit on the width and the height will be too big.

Not positive but isnt it just the poles that are spaced farther not the whole bobbin width?
Even if not cant you csrefully use a flat file to open the sides of the opening a hair.?

The holes fit, I did sand it but the height is higher than usual and I don't think it looks perfect.

Gotcha. You can check some of those import parts companys like gfs and musiclily.
Or even DiMarzio for there F spaced pickups( I said the D word lol)
Worst case you could probably get a white one and soak it in coffee youd have to check it often so it dont over stain.
I know the relic guys age parts like that sometimes. Kinda a PITA tho

Humbucker rings come in 2 width. One is PAF like, but modern ones could have enough length. You need more than 2.7 inch. Just check the dimensions on the parts suppliers. Be aware that cream comes not in a single hue, so you also can have a colour mismatch with our pickup.

Yeah... 'cream' means a range of colors. And pics online can't really be trusted as far as matching something you have in your hand.

Bobbins and poles are wider. Here you can see a trembucker, (red), superimposed over a humbucker, (black).

Most manufactures just make the pole spacing wider, but not the bobbin width.

Duncan do make the bobbins wider, though.
