  • Someone to help me to find pick-up rings for my soft archtop soloist...^^

        That's a regular archtop soloist, not a 'soft'. Did you get that from Jani in Finland?
        Popular is not the same as good
        Rare is not the same as valuable
        Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

          Exact, I get it from Jani.... but, for me, it's a soft archtop (Perhaps, I said a bullshit!!!! lol)...

          Thanks for your help...

            make them yourself. buy the correct size rings and tape a fairly high grit sandpaper over the area on the body and run them lengthwise over the spot they will sit. just keep checking to make sure they are taking the right curve. then use higher grit sand paper to clean them up on the bottom. presto new rings. this shouldn't result in any damage to your guitars top if it is done correctly.

              good idea but you didn't see me with sandpaper in my hands!!!!! lol

              And I'm not enough patient to do it well and I prefer perfect job, so if I find one good for my soloist, I take it...

              thanks.

                You might need to look into 3D printing if you can find/create the right CAD file. I'm in a similar situation.

                    Fair enough. If I have any joy with my problem, I'll share the intel with you and whoever else can benefit.

                      thanks for your help... I start thinking AAEA's idea will probably be the best solution (DIY).... I will share it if I find better one, don't worry....^^

                        Cover the top in painters tape to lessen the chance of damage when you are sanding.

                            I bought a set of milled delrin pickup rings from some guy on ebay in eastern Europe. lol They'll never break and I didn't pay too much for them. Don't remember who it was though. The rings are great though. lol
