What kind of pickup ring comes with the Dimebucker?

[Rex_Rocker]

Is the bottom slanted or flat? Is it for archtops or flat tops? Is it tall (like for a bridge pickup) or short?

Can anyone please take a pic of it along with some other pickup ring for reference?

Thanks.

it's slanted, flat top and i'd rather say short to medium height, i can take detailed pics and measurements as soon as i get back home... in like 6 hours... so this will have to do until that

sorry i fell asleep yesternight and couldn't post until now

pickguard thickness you can tell the ring is sunk into it


the ring, you can see how even in the shorter side it's still taller than the pickguard


this is how much the tall side protrudes from the pickguard


some extra pics, i did "relic" the ring, maybe i exaggerated a bit but i think it has some nice character

Are those drywall screws holding the pickguard on?

If so, that pretty badass!

Ditto! Nice job making and/or modifying that pickguard. I never thought of routing one out to go around a pickup ring like that.

lol, i wish i actually did routed that out, i just burnt the pickguard with a soldering iron and then sandpapered it down, some time later i used a dremmel with a cutting wheel to straight the lines as they were just nasty AF, the original screws were crap and started rusting and stripping so i went to the hardware store and got screws of similar size, so nope not actual drywall screws but they look a lot like so, the screws on the pickup ring are like 3/4" tho, also i used super glue to get the txture on the ring and screws.
