I have a 2006 les Paul studio with humbuckers. Id like to put some mini humbuckers in the guitar but can't find any humbucker to mini rings that will fit the guitar. The studio rings are smaller than say a standard les Paul which you can find rings for. I was thinking of making some out of wood but I don't have the tools to do so nor am I a carpenter.:( I did make a flat ring out of some plastic sign material but it just doesn't look very good. Do you guys have any ideas or know of where I can find some rings that will fit?
thanks

Anyway, I am certain someone on here could make something along the lines of the 'goof hiders' fitted on some 70's Les Paul's, if that would solve the problem (though it sounds like you have already tried this with the sign material).
The only other things I have seen were from GuitarFetish.com but presumably they won't fit if your guitar is not standard? Or possibly cuicuicacustomguitars on eBay could make something, as they make some for P90's.

The rings on a Studio are the same size as any other Gibson Les Paul with full size humbuckers.
