EMG Mounting Ring, 8 String Flat, Medium in Black
This EMG Flat 8 Medium mounting ring ensures precise, secure positioning for eight-string humbucking pickups with a low-profile flat design that minimizes obstruction and maintains clean aesthetics in your recording chain. The 0.200-inch thickness provides solid structural support while keeping the profile compact, making it essential for tracking sessions where exact pickup alignment directly impacts captured tone without visual bulk. Built to exacting tolerances and manufactured in the U.S.A., this ring handles both standard and custom mounting scenarios in studio applications.
Design & Compatibility
The ring's flat profile is engineered specifically for 8-string humbucking pickups and accommodates both 2-screw and 3-screw mounting formats through molded alignment bosses. The medium size positions pickups in the middle area of the guitar, functioning as a direct replacement for standard eight-string humbucking installations, ensuring consistent results across multiple instruments in your studio.
Installation & Specifications
Alignment bosses are molded for 7/64 inch (2.5mm) drill modification, allowing fine-tuning of mounting holes as needed during setup. 3/48 thread specification adjustment tabs enable precise height and angle control, delivering the repeatability required for session work and reliable overdub tracking.
