Epi LP - new pickup rings, pre-curved vs sanding straight

Lesorphee

I’m trying to find some white pickup surrounds for my silver sparkle ‘96 Epi Les Paul, to replace the OG cream versions. 

I’m struggling to find the curved versions, but after some cursory googling, it looks like sanding the straight versions is fairly common.

Does anyone have any experience with this? (Or by any chance know where to find the curved white surrounds in the UK?!)

I was also slightly tempted by Crimon Guitar’s wooden surrounds, but same thing again, they need sanding.

I’m game for sanding if that’s the way forward, but not massively confident about nailing those curves!

The curves don't need to be perfect as screws will hold down any unevenness. The original LP rings were just bendy enough to conform to the curve.

I needed some for my Epi LP, albeit mine was a white custom so had black pickup surrounds, picked up some off of Amazon for about six quid.  Needed to screw down carefully to make sure the bend matched but fitted just fine.
