Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two rings?
The Ivory ring accepts 2-screw or 3-screw custom drilling, while the White ring is fixed to 3-screw format and includes a threaded adjustment tab for height fine-tuning. Both share the same 0.2-inch flat medium profile and 7/64-inch drill compatibility.
Which one is better for precision height adjustment?
The White ring includes a threaded 3/48 adjustment tab built in, making it the better choice if you need repeatable micro-adjustments to pickup height during or after installation.
Can I use either ring on any 8-string guitar?
Both work on standard 8-string humbucking pickups, but your choice depends on whether your guitar's existing mounting holes are 2-screw or 3-screw format. The Ivory offers more flexibility if you're not sure or need to adapt.
Do these come pre-drilled?
No, both arrive without factory-drilled pickup holes. You drill custom holes using the included alignment bosses and a 7/64-inch drill bit to match your specific 8-string pickup configuration.
