Mini humbucker adapter pickup ring converts Gibson full size to mini black plastic

A customer recently asked if we could make a nicer mini-humbucker adapter ring than the cheap ones you usually see available that are simply cut from a piece of pickguard material. Well, here it is!

This ring makes it possible to mount a modern sized Gibson mini-humbucker into a standard Gibson full-size humbucker rout while retaining the look of a taller molded ring.
This listing is for a flat bottom, non slanted, medium height ring. You'd use this on flat top electrics with a shallow neck angle. If you need an angled ring, look for our other listings.

The ring is machined from a solid piece of black ABS plastic- the same type of plastic used in other rings, pickguards, and knobs. They are roughly 7/32" thick and the footprint and mounting are the same as Gibson's standard full size humbucker rings. There are two sizes of mini-humbuckers: the smaller vintage Gibson size which includes modern Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan versions, and a larger modern Gibson size which includes current Gibson, Epiphone, and most of the mini humbuckers made in foreign factories. The smaller size will fit in this ring but there will be a noticeable gap on the sides by the adjustment screws. The approximate size of the pickups that this ring was made to fit are 2 21/32" by 1 3/32".

OK, I machine and polish these by hand. This takes a fair amount of time and effort, but they aren't as blemish free and perfectly shiny as a good injection molded part. If you look in really good light you can see some swirl marks and handling marks. Have a look at the photos, they look pretty good, but again, these are handmade. They're still a lot nicer than anything else I've found!

The guitar in the photos is our trusty Gibson SGJ, and the pickups shown are recent Gibson Firebird mini-humbuckers. Obviously, neither the guitar nor pickups are included. This listing is for a single medium height ring only.
