Materials

 

 

On this page you'll find some information that you may find helpful in determining what material you'd like to have for your project.

Unfortunately I do not have pictures of every single example possible but I try to represent most of what can be done here.

There are quite a few different materials available so please have a look to see exactly what would suite your project and budget and if you have any questions at all, please feel free to shoot me an email.

A word about Anodizing:

Custom orders are available at a higher price since the company has to fire up the tanks for your specific job so as you can imagine,

they can't do small batches as cheaply as the larger batches.

Please don't hesitate to inquire on pricing though because it's not as much as you might think ;o)

Material Thickness Options

Rings can be made from a 1/16th of an inch up to 1/2" thick and angled as well to meet the neck angle requirements for proper string alignment.

While this is not always necessary, some players would not even consider a pickup ring that didn't have this option.

Prices will vary for different materials so please ask if you need thicker and / or  angled rings for your particular guitar.

In most cases, it's a $2 up-charge for each ring.

Color / Material Options:

Rings are available in black, gray, or faux "Carbon Fiber" plastics or if you're interested in getting colors for your rings, I can do aluminum anodizing for you.

Here is a color chart of available aluminum anodized colors but please keep in mind, this is a reference chart and colors will vary a bit.

Please note: Unfortunately due to problems with anodizing polished rings, the only available finishes will be the brushed or satin finishes.

Some color examples with Camera Flash on and off.

(Price per application varies)
