EMG Mounting Ring, 8 String Flat, Medium in White
This EMG Flat 8 Medium Mounting Ring in white provides a clean, low-profile platform for eight-string humbucking pickup installation. The non-angled, non-curved flat design keeps the pickup sitting flush and stable, making it ideal for middle-position applications where neutral mounting geometry ensures accurate tone capture without acoustic coloration.
Design & Build
The ring features a 0.2-inch medium height profile with a non-angled, flat configuration optimized for standard eight-string humbucking pickups. Its 3-screw mounting format accommodates adaptable positioning, while the threaded 3/48 adjustment tab allows fine-tuned height control specific to EMG specifications for consistent pickup-to-string balance in the mix.
Installation & Compatibility
This mounting ring arrives without factory-drilled pickup holes, offering flexibility for custom alignment during installation. The alignment bosses can be modified using a 7/64 inch (2.5mm) drill bit to suit your exact eight-string pickup configuration. Direct replacement compatibility with standard EMG eight-string sized humbucking pickups ensures straightforward integration into your recording setup.
