EMG Mounting Ring, 6 String Arched, Thin in Ivory
The EMG Arched 6 String Thin mounting ring in Ivory ensures tight, flush pickup integration on carved-top instruments, critical for capturing clean recordings without unwanted mechanical noise or resonance issues. Its radiused design conforms naturally to arched body contours, eliminating gaps that can degrade pickup response and consistency. This thin-profile ring maintains precise pickup-to-string geometry without introducing visual clutter in your signal chain—essential for home-studio instruments where every detail affects the final mix.
Design & Studio Integration
Built to work with 6-string humbucker pickups, this ring accommodates most standard humbucker housings and EMG pickup systems. The angled mounting geometry positions the bridge side higher than the neck side, following the natural radius of a carved top and maintaining optimal string-to-magnet spacing across the fretboard—directly impacting transient capture and frequency response in your recordings.

Made in the U.S.A., this mounting ring offers domestic manufacturing standards and reliability. The Ivory finish provides a classic, neutral aesthetic that complements a wide range of guitar finishes and hardware options.
