Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two rings?
The Ivory ring ships without pre-drilled mounting holes, allowing you to customize the installation to your exact specs with a 7/64 inch drill. The White ring comes pre-drilled with 3/48 screws ready for immediate use.
Can I use either ring as a direct replacement?
The White ring is designed as a direct replacement and requires no modification. The Ivory ring is intended for custom builds where you'll drill your own mounting holes to match your specific pickup configuration.
Do both rings work with all EMG seven-string pickups?
Both are engineered for seven-string sized humbucking pickups and full EMG pickup systems. The Ivory accommodates both 3-screw and 2-screw formats, while the White uses 3/48 screws specifically.
What's the thickness and does color matter sonically?
Both rings are 0.2 inches thick with identical flat profiles and non-angled design. Color is purely aesthetic—Ivory and White offer different visual finishes with no sonic difference.
