PRS pickup ring

[Dr.J4ckal]

Hi folks.
I need new pickup rings for my custom 24. Unfortunately it's impossible to find them where I live. The dealer don't have any in stock, and sellers on ebay don't ship PRS parts overseas.
Can I just use dimarzio or duncan rings? Are they similar?

They are just flat, 3.5 x 1.5 inches. The outer corners may be a little more rounded than Gibson/HPI. A Dimarzio replacement should fit but the shade of cream/creme may not match exactly.

I would try hard to get PRS rings, they're tapered so the pickup height lies perfectly parallel with the strings- there's a difference between the stop rail and trem tapers

The ones on my 1993 Custom are flat.

The uk dealer has stock. You could PayPal me and I'll sort some. I just received a black set today for mine.

You can buy them straight from the PRS site shop.
If they (PRS) do not ship to your country, you can buy a US shipping address, have them shipped there and then on forwarded to you (I did this recently for a bridge upgrade for my custom 22).
