EMG Mounting Ring, 6 String, Flat, Thin in White vs EMG Mounting Ring, 6 String, Flat, Medium in White
The Thin ring (0.125") minimizes cavity bulk for bridge or neck positions, while the Medium ring (0.200") provides extra stability and is optimized for middle-position installations. Choose Thin for a low-profile retrofit on existing cavities; choose Medium if you need added thickness for consistent cavity depth or are working with a middle pickup slot.

Frequently asked questions
Which ring works for bridge and neck positions?
The Thin ring is better suited for bridge and neck positions where space is limited. The Medium ring is optimized for middle-position installations but can work elsewhere depending on cavity depth.
What is the main thickness difference?
The Thin measures 0.125 inches while the Medium is 0.200 inches thick—a 0.075-inch difference that affects how the ring sits in your cavity and may influence pickup angle or clearance.
Do both rings work with EMG pickups?
Yes, both are designed for EMG humbucking pickups and compatible with standard full-sized humbucking pickups from other manufacturers. Both require 7/64-inch drilling for custom mounting configurations.
Which is better for a custom build from scratch?
Either can work for custom builds. Choose based on your cavity depth and intended pickup position: Thin for shallower cavities or edge positions, Medium for standard-depth cavities or middle positions.
