Gibson M-69 Humbucker Rings

[Have FUN]

Hi,
I' m looking for a set of M-69 Humbuckers rings, I bought a set at Creamtone before but now they are no more available.

Do you know where I can buy those HBs rings?

I' ve read that DiMarzio rings have de same dimensions than M-69, is it true?

Thanks !

I think you can pay for them as much as you like!
http://www.montreuxguitars.com/us/index.php sells some, so does Tom at http://bartlettguitarparts.com/ and www.59parts.pl

Now if you are looking for a single black bridge M69 ring like I am, it's quite a bit harder :/

Are you refereing to the thicker rings (i.e. vintage hight)?

If so, I have a set of Dimarzio rings on my LP Classic, and they are vintage-spec.

A few years back I put a set of DiMarzio rings on my 2011 Trad Plus. They're the same height the rings on my R8.

I got some black M69s from Wizz but it appears they don't have them anymore. Their site redirects you to Creamtone and no black rings are offered.

I'm sorry, but $235 for pickup rings????? Is it me, or is that just a BIT anal?

Montreux pickup rings look fine but 150 $ + shipping cost ....

Yup, I want something that looks similar but I don't really care if it has the very right smell and sound when dropped. I know the material might matter for a les paul where it needs to bend, but I need it as a replacement for a SG...

Is it me?

Nope, Its not just you.

these are the curved ones (got a set, haven't used them yet), but i've successfully used the flat ones and with a little massaging, worked fine.

We’re sold out at the moment, but Alex has more on the way to us. Watch this link:
