Wooden Pickup Rings

Deijavoo · December 2015

Anyone recommend where to get a set from? eBay could be hit and miss tbh....

Wanting to fit some to my PRS Tremonti. Looking for rosewood specifically.

Rothko and frost? I seem to remember them offering them recently

I just bought some ebony ones and control knobs from crazyparts.de. They look the business.

ICBM · December 2015

They are the most hideous, tasteless, un-rock'n'roll things ever invented, apart from wooden control knobs.

I have two pairs of unused Allparts ones if anyone wants them

. I ordered them for someone, and even he didn't...

I'm too old for proper rock and roll these days dude.

:-)

I'm sure I'll get sorted with G4Y but I'll give you a shout if I get stuck. Cheers.

€32 ain't a bad price either! Cheers.

I agree, Sir, they are definitely un-Rock'n'Roll, and within that term of reference may be considered hideous or tasteless (IMO only within that term of reference; indeed that term of reference may itself be considered hideous or tasteless by them outside of it

). But I like a nice bit o'wood and would ('scuse pun) definitely fit wooden control knobs & pickup rings to a JazzBox. Not to a Strat though - I do have some sense of propriety

Wooden pickup rings? Surely it'd go thunk ...

Wooden have much output

I'll get me coat ...

Don't they just split if you screw them in a little enthusiastically?

Yes, they can do.

I've just dug out the ones I have and if anyone wants these poo brown beautiful pale rosewood furniture guitar parts tasteful upgrades to any PRS SE or similar they are welcome to them for the postage and a small donation to my Christmas beer fund

.

I have four - two 4mm thick, two 9mm thick, all non-angled and for a flat topped guitar.

One 4mm one has a small machining error (front right in the pic, front edge) making the thin strip not quite parallel so it would be best pressed up against a fingerboard end to push it straight.

Edit: sold to TTony

Each to their own, of course.... but I tend to agree. I don't like 'em.

Also agree with Phil that they could work on a jazz guitar, maybe in a nice dark ebony so they don't look too "furniture".

Wooden pickup rings really only work on very specific guitars and finishes, and wooden scratch plates can all basically just fuck off. Wooden knobs are ok though, and wooden guitar knobs are fine too.

EDIT: Here's how not to do it...
