Frequently asked questions
Are these rings truly identical except for color?
Yes. Both measure 0.125 inches thick, feature non-angled flat design, are made in the U.S.A., and fit seven-string EMG and standard humbucking pickups. The only difference is Ivory versus White finish.
Which ring is better for neck position pickups?
Product B explicitly states it is optimized for neck position, but both rings function identically. The designation in Product B's description is primarily marketing; either will work at any position.
Do both rings support 2-screw and 3-screw mounting?
Product A explicitly lists both formats and mentions a 7/64 inch drill modification for conversion. Product B does not mention screw format compatibility in its specifications, so if screw-format flexibility is critical, Product A provides clearer documentation.
Will color affect pickup performance?
No. Color is purely aesthetic and has no impact on electrical performance, pickup alignment, or mounting stability. Choose based on visual preference only.
