  • DK2M Questions please

    Can anyone tell me what height the pickup rings on a dk2m are?
    Are the neck and bridge the same height?
    Are they flat or angled?
    Looking to fit dimarzio super distortion and a paf pro. These be a good match with my jcm1 for hairmetal such as van Halen, Europe, scorpions, def leopard and alike.

    Here's a pic



    Cost me £167 on eBay without pickups

    Hoping my trade gos ahead as really fancy those pups

      Short angled, both the same size. They shouoldnt be anlged though, get some short flat ones and youll be all set.

        Thanks, looks like I'll get flat ones.

        You thick the pickups will suit the alder body?

          Yep, I think you'll be happy. You might try fretsonthenet.com for the rings too.

            I put a SD and Breed in mine and I love them. I had to customize my pup rings cuz I wanted white. But I think they are flat bottom, short ones...

                Alright bloke! Fancy seeing you here

                Why will they be zebras? The DiMarzios are all available in a load of colours.

                Also, talking of pickups as we were yesterday - someone above has mentioned the Breed. I had an RG550 with a Breed in it, was awesome sounding. Might be a little too fat for the sort of sound you're after though...

                  How do Mr Kerry.
                  Yeah I forgot about this place. Joined a while back when I had the charvel. You reminded me so I thought I'd pop over.

                  Zebras because a guy on eBay has the super D and paf pro set for sale and I meassaged him asking if he wanted to trade at all.

                  Got a few bits I'm gonna sell and haven't got the time to list everything as got my new house keys today lots of moving and painting and floor laying...........

                  Not in a rush but really wanna try the guitar plugged in! The jt580lp trem seems good so far after some abuse.
                  Might look at keeping the trem but swapping the block for a nice lump of brass just gotta find one which will fit.

                    I've got a DK2M and love it! Got it from BigE on here. It's definitely one of my favorites to play. Mine came with a flat very short ring in the neck, and one about 1/8" or so flat one in the bridge. Both metal. Not sure if that was original or not, but I like it. If you are getting new rings, I've gotten the metal ones on a few of my guitars from www.guitarfetish.com and they are pretty nice and a good price. www.guitarpartsresource.com also sells them at a decent price. I've ordered from both, and they are both very flat. Probably 1/16" or so...

                      You have a recessed Floyd so the obvious choice is short flat non-angled.
