Dogear pickup height rings in cream

What's Hot

Basically got an artec P90 dogear replacement pickup in my epi wildcat. Need a cream mounting type rings to raise the bridge pickup about 3mm at least.

Can't seem to find any other than the black £15 set that oil city has. Anybody know anyone else in the UK that makes them?

    Not as far as I know, the material we use isn't available in cream, however it can be painted just like wood ... so so glue the shims into the 'pack' you want ... then cream and clear-coat gets you the result don't paint the underside where it rests on the guitar's finish.
    PS ... we will be shortly making Gretsch height rings too ...

    The traditional material used for dogear P90 spacers on Gibson and old USA Epiphone guitars is black, regardless of the colour of the covers themselves.

    Could your machine be programmed to cut dogear-to-‘Tron adapters? Dogear-to-Winterizer? Dogear-to-humbucker?
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    It could indeed. Dogear to humbucker would involve changing the body rout as well mind.

    @OilCityPickups hi do you think the set of 3 will be enough to raise up the phatcat bridge position? Any paint would you recommend? Plasticoat?

    If you measure the height of your poles from the strings I'll supply a custom pack at no extra charge :-)
    Plasticoat is good.
