Help with Covered TB Mounting rings

[jmh151]

I am pimping out my Ibanez RG with all gold parts, gold covered SD pickups and gold mounting rings. I got brass gold plated pickup rings. I also got one of the new gold covered JB TB-4 trembucker spaced pickups, only to find out the pickup is too wide for standard mounting rings, hence why it probably came with a cheap plastic mounting ring. Does anyone know where I can get gold plated pickup rings to fit the new covered trembucker pickups?

Re: Help with Covered TB Mounting rings

I have this same exact problem. I'm a guitar tech and I'm at a lose here. I contacted Seymour Duncan and this is the response I got;

Hi Robbe,

Traditional Gibson/Epiphone spacing is what we call 'SH', but since about 2000, their spacing at the bridge is wider. For modern Gibson/Epi guitars, you now need 'TB' spaced pickups in order to get the correct string alignment. When in doubt, measure the distance from the high E to the low E directly over the bridge pickup. If the distance is just under 2", then you need SH. IF the distance is just over 2" then you need TB. I hope this clears it up for you.

Best Regards,
