Humbucker Mounting Rings that Match SD Cream Bobbins

[Evan Skopp]

Does anyone know of a supplier of cream-colored mounting rings that matches the cream of SD zebra bobbins? Some of the ones from the big part supply houses have an orange cast that's a slightly different shade.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Been searching for them for YEARS with hardly any luck. I wish SD would have them made using the same bobbin material and sell them separate like DiMarzio does. The closest I've found are from Allparts, the non-slanted flat bottom ones.

That's what's on this guitar with SD zebras....

HOWEVER...

The Allparts rings sometime vary in color and can be a bit darker and more off. I've also had some luck in using DiMarzio rings with SD hums but they vary even more than the Allparts rings so they too are hit or miss if they'll match.

The last set of gibson rings I bought were pretty close

I buy my cream rings from a vendor on the Netherlands, www.guitarsupplies.nl (how original) and their cream rings are a spot on match with SD cream bobbins. Lemme see if I can find a nice pic.

I'd say that's a pretty close match, don't you think?
