Description
EMG Mounting Ring, 8 String Flat, Medium in Ivory
This EMG Mounting Ring provides a recessed mounting platform engineered for 8-string humbucking pickups in the middle position. The flat profile and medium height maintain precise pickup alignment and consistent output levels across your extended-range sessions. Built to exacting American standards, it ensures the kind of mechanical precision that translates directly into reliable tracking and mix performance.
Design & Specifications
The 0.200-inch thickness and flat style deliver consistent pickup height without angle or radius curvature—critical for maintaining uniform response and capture across all eight strings. This non-curved design guarantees that your pickup sits at the correct working distance from the strings, preserving tonal definition and sustain through tracking and overdub sessions.
Installation & Workflow
The ring arrives without pre-drilled mounting holes, allowing you to dial in the hole pattern for either 2-screw or 3-screw formats specific to your instrument build. The supplied alignment bosses accept precise drilling with a standard 7/64-inch (2.5mm) drill bit, giving you complete control over final placement and ensuring rock-solid pickup stability during recording.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a flat and curved mounting ring?
A flat ring has no angle or radius curvature, maintaining a consistent pickup height across the entire width. This design simplifies installation and ensures even tonal response, unlike angled or radiused rings that tilt the pickup to match a curved fretboard.
Do I need to drill the mounting holes myself?
Yes, the ring ships without pre-drilled holes so you can customize the hole pattern for your instrument. Included alignment bosses guide drilling with a standard 7/64-inch (2.5mm) drill bit for either 2-screw or 3-screw mounting formats.
What position is this ring designed for?
This ring is sized for the middle pickup position on 8-string humbucking guitars. The medium height specification and 0.200-inch thickness provide proper clearance and consistent depth control in that location.
Is this compatible with all 8-string humbucking pickups?
Yes, this ring is designed for standard 8-string humbucking pickups. Its flat, non-angled design works with any humbucker-format pickup, giving you flexibility in brand and model selection.
What does the ivory finish look like?
The ivory finish is a clean, neutral color that complements custom builds and electronics cavities. It maintains the professional appearance of your instrument while the flat, recessed design keeps the focus on your pickup clarity.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
