  • Replacement Pickup Rings for San Dimas - AllParts Size?

    I'm working on a buddy's USA San Dimas Style 2 and it's missing the pickup mounting rings. I'm trying to figure out which humbucker mounting rings are correct. I just ordered these and it looks like the bridge mounting ring would be too tall:

    I'm thinking the option below would be correct. Could anyone confirm before I go ahead and order them? With this option I also have the choice of Standard Bridge & Neck, or two Short Neck rings. Is one preferable for a San Dimas? Thanks!

    Check out Frets on the Net ( http://www.fretsonthenet.com/ ) he can help you out in getting the correct pickup rings. I have used him many times to get parts for my old Charvels.

      I use flat rings on my Charvel Production Models but I keep the bridge really close to the body. I could probably use a tall ring on the bridge but the short one works well enough.

        Slanted rings all the way with a NR trem, unless you are one of those crazies who flush mounts their trems.

          As an FYI, I get those custom made from FotN with the following dimensions for the bridge: 15/32" to 13/32". That gets the strings level with the ring on my Jackson strats and gets the pup up high enough to where it is in the middle of it's range of travel and not sticking out like crazy. Here's my Banana Yellow Strat. Note that the neck angle was too shallow for this pic. I added some more angle to get better pull-up range, and that lifted the EMG up a bit from what you see here.
