Pickup rings

Hello everyone!!

I want to change the pickup rings on my 3 pickup custom I have ordered. It is an ebony epiphone and I want to put creme pick up rings on it instead of the black. Question is: Are the middle and bridge pickup ring the same size or are all three tapered? I don't have the guitar yet and want to order the parts to dress it up. Everywhere has the standard to pickup set but I cannot find 3 ring sets for custom 3 pickups. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Pickup rings

You should have posted this in the Epiphone sub-forum

But I'm under the impression that the middle is going to be the same as one of the other two, I've never seen a set of 3 rings. So you'll have to buy 2 sets in order to get the 3 rings, then once you have the two sets you can see which combination works best.

You can always get some sand paper and make the taller ring slightly smaller to get them all different sizes.

Re: Pickup rings

you want your middle pickup ring to be the same as your neck pup ring.
