Re: Hardware Plastic Comparision Thread

I just got my new Dimarzio mounting rings in the mail today. I thought they would be too white, but they're actually a little bit off white. They have the same measurements as the historic rings I have, so they're a perfect fit.

I sanded them a bit to give them the aged look, and I made them a bit more yellow with shoe polish. Looks pretty good in my opinion

What do you guys think? They're 5 bucks each... beats the hell out of those expensive replica parts (if you don't mind the lack off the correct mold marks and numbers at the back).

Here's a comparison between an original pinkish Gibson ring, a new off white Dimarzio ring and an aged Dimarzio ring (middle).





Here's some pics of the rings fitted to my 1994 LP classic (sorry no historic yet):
