What do you guys think of this custom?

[ZL1hawk]

With pickup rings and without.

[Iivari]

No pickups rings looks better. I personally would go with hipshot bridge instead of a tom.

I think its awesome and I'll be happy to break it in for you.....Personally, I need fret markers of some sort.....I love the look without it but I like to have them.....

[ZL1hawk]

The top will be a 5A flamed maple drop top.

Looks good with or without, but I'm leaning more towards without.

[dvscool]

without

[Hellbat]

I prefer the look of rings, but I'm old...

[sixx_ gunner]

Without! Very good looking!

[Chad]

I like the look without, but I'd go with because I like the ease of adjustability rings provide. i.e. function over form.

[straycat]

Its OK either way.

This!

[ZL1hawk]

Yup no rings wins out. Somebody also mentioned to me a Hipshot Bridge, I'll look in to that.

[toejam]

The Hipshot is a nice bridge. Here's one on my Carvin 8-string, also with no ring.
A TOM is also nice, it's just whatever you prefer more.

I usually prefer rings, but without looks better here

Ditch the rings and use the cost savings to buy some fingerboard inlays.
