These wood pickup rings fit standard humbuckers. Inside dimensions are 1.516" wide by 2.778" with 3/32 inside corner radius. Outside dimensions are 1.750" x 3.525" with a 1/8" corner radius. The top outside edges are rounded over to a 1/16" radius. Height adjustment screws are 3.08" center to center and 7/64" dia. Mounting screw holes are 1.460" width x 3.232" length, center to center and 3/32" dia. The rings come in short, flat 3/16" (4mm) tall, short, wedge-shaped 1/4" to 3/16" (6.3mm to 4.8mm) and tall heights which taper from 1/2" to 3/8" (12.7 mm to 10.15mm).

Wood grain orientation is usually perpandicular to the strings for added strength and stability, grain parallel to the strings is optional. The standard finish is satin but gloss or unfinished can be specified in the finish preferences area.

On Gibson® Les Paul®, carved top guitars the bottoms of the rings need a concave radius of about a 15". I'm happy to do this for you but it might not match your guitar exactly. Other models have a shallower curvature which will have to be determined

There are many variations on the original Gibson® dimensions and many are not compatible as the corner mounting holes will not line up. I have many different sizes and hole locations available including for Seymour Duncan®, Carvin® (3 mounting holes) , Ibanez®, PRS® and others. I also make covers designed to go around humbuckers without their metal cover that fit closely around the bobbins and have a matching 5/16" corner radius. Custom heights are available for Heritage® guitars that came with 3 humbuckers. Please inquire about special configurations or send me an original ring from your guitar so I can replicate it exactly.

Ebony pickup rings are available as a special order. Because of the inherent instability and brittle nature of ebony these rings are extremely delicate. It is recommended that they be installed by a qualified repair person. Pickup rings are not waranteed against breakage due to over-tightened mounting screws or mis-aligned holes.
