Description

These premium pickup rings are sized specifically for our most popular pickup styles, and are laser-cut right here in the C. B. Gitty workshop. We cut these from 1/8" thick solid hardwood panels, and the result is a beautiful, Made-in-the-USA way to add a touch of class to your pickup installs. No more do you have to worry about getting the opening hole exactly right and the edges perfect... just cut/route your hole (our acrylic pickup opening template works great for this), install the pickup and then snug one of these down over it.

We offer these in 4 different hardwoods (more varieties to come) - just choose your favorite from the options above, and the type of pickup you want to use it with. The photo will change for each to show you an example of what what each particular wood looks like, as well as the pickup style it is designed to work with. Please note: these are designed to fit the pickups we sell - if you got your pickup somewhere else, be sure to measure it carefully to make sure it will fit!

We ship these in the bare/natural wood state - check the listing photo to see how good they look with a little bit of linseed oil applied. Because this is thin wood, be very careful when handling and mounting not to bend or twist the pieces, and to not put them under too much pressure from a screw head. If using a flat-head screw, countersink the holes very carefully. Wood this thin can split easily and must be handled with care! Because these parts are cut by a laser, the edges will have some darkening. You can sand this off if desired, but it really isn't necessary.
