This EMG Mounting Ring delivers a precision fit for 6-string pickups with its carefully engineered arched profile and thin construction. Designed to seat EMG pickups cleanly while maintaining compatibility with standard full-sized humbucking specifications, this ring ensures stable, rattle-free mounting—critical for capturing clean recordings and maintaining consistent tone across tracking and mixing sessions.
Studio Recording & Pickup Mounting
Built as a direct replacement for standard full-sized humbucking pickup rings, the arched and curved design accommodates the specific geometry of EMG pickup housings while maintaining universal compatibility across most humbucking pickup formats. The white finish provides clean aesthetics and integrates seamlessly into most pickguard configurations, ensuring your instrument sits well in any studio setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EMG Mounting Ring and why do I need one?
A mounting ring is the base that seats your EMG pickup securely in the guitar cavity and allows height adjustment. This ring ensures rattle-free, stable positioning and prevents microphonic noise during play or recording. You need one when installing or replacing an EMG pickup to maintain proper alignment and tonal consistency.
Will this ring fit my guitar?
This ring is designed for 6-string guitars with standard full-sized humbucking cavities and is compatible with most humbucking pickup formats. It features 0.109 inch (7/64 inch) mounting holes and threaded 3/48 adjustment tabs that mate with standard EMG pickup housings. Verify your cavity dimensions match standard humbucking specs before purchase.
What is the thin profile and how does it affect installation?
The thin profile measures 0.250 inch in height, keeping the overall pickup assembly compact while preserving structural rigidity. This minimal height means you gain more clearance inside the guitar cavity and can achieve precise height adjustment without excessive ring thickness.
What tools or hardware do I need to install this?
Installation requires 3/48 screws (included or sourced separately) that thread into the ring's adjustment tabs. You will also need basic guitar tech tools such as a screwdriver and a ruler or feeler gauge to set proper pickup height during final setup.
Is this ring made in the USA?
Yes, this EMG Mounting Ring is made in the U.S.A., reflecting EMG's commitment to precision manufacturing and quality control.
