Description
EMG Mounting Ring, 8 String Flat, Thin in Black
This EMG Mounting Ring delivers a low-profile, precision fit for 8-string humbucking pickups. The thin profile and flat design integrate cleanly into modern instrument cavities without adding unnecessary bulk, making it the essential replacement for studio setups and session instruments using EMG-equipped 8-string guitars.
Design & Build Quality
The 0.125-inch thickness keeps the ring compact and unobtrusive while maintaining structural integrity. EMG's U.S.A. manufacturing ensures consistent tolerances and reliable molded alignment bosses that position your pickup correctly in the cavity for repeatable on-axis tone capture.
Compatibility & Installation
This ring accommodates both 2-screw and 3-screw mounting formats through modifiable alignment bosses—a 7/64-inch (2.5mm) drill allows customization to your specific guitar's configuration. The 3/48 threaded adjustment tab specification matches standard EMG humbucking pickups, ensuring secure height adjustment and consistent pickup-to-string distance for stable recording levels and tonal character.
