EMG Mounting Ring, 8 String Flat, Thin in White
The EMG Mounting Ring in Thin profile provides a low-profile foundation for eight-string pickup installations, sitting flush in the body cavity to preserve your guitar's original dimensions and tonal character. This flat-style ring maintains clean aesthetics while delivering the structural precision required for stable, repeatable pickup mounting on extended-range instruments. Built to exacting standards, it integrates seamlessly with EMG's ecosystem of pickup components for sessions that demand rock-solid reliability.
Design & Build
Manufactured in the U.S.A., this ring features a non-angled, non-curved profile engineered as a direct replacement for standard eight-string sized humbucking pickups. The white finish blends cleanly with most body cavities, while the thin 0.125-inch height minimizes cavity intrusion—critical for preserving wood mass and resonance in extended-range instruments.
Installation & Compatibility
This mounting ring arrives without pre-drilled pickup mounting holes, enabling flexible configuration to either 2-screw or 3-screw mounting formats via alignment bosses. The bosses are precisely drilled to accept 7/64 inch (2.5mm) hardware, ensuring reliable fitment and repeatability across sessions and instrument swaps.
