Description
We created these 2-part pickup rings and cover assemblies here at C. B. Gitty specifically for mounting our hand-wound GittyBucker surface-mount cigar box guitar pickups! They measure 2.3 in. x 2.3 in. by ~0.250 in. (6mm) tall when fully assembled. The GittyBucker pickup nestles down into the ring and the cover plate goes over it, held down to your guitar soundboard via four screws (not included - #4 X 1/2 in. Phillips flat-head or round-head recommended).
One of the best things about these covers, in addition to their low price and the fact they are made in the USA here at C. B. Gitty*, is the fact that they are so versatile in how you can decorate them. For the wooden covers, which come in an unfinished/natural state, anything from spray paint to wood stain can be used, and you can even do woodburning, hand-painted artwork, decoupage, whatever you want! For the metal covers, you can distress them, antique them or polish them to a mirror shine if desired.
Please note this listing is for a single pickup mounting ring and cover of your chosen style; the GittyBucker pickups shown in photos are for demonstration purposes only! Metal finishes come "natural" - in other words, unfinished as they came from the factory. Metal plates may have sharp edges and surface scuffs/scratches that need to be polished/sanded off. Use fine grit sandpaper for a nice textured finish, or steel wool/buffing cloths for more shine.
* We make the plywood spacer rings and cover plates here at C. B. Gitty. The metal cover plates are made off-site at another facility in the USA.
