Still haven't fitted my one in anything yet... there's a novelty... :rolleyes:

I had a spam email today from a charming Chinese gentleman asking me if I wished to purchase sintered alnico magnets. It seems a surprising coincidence  as the only thing from China I have bought recently has been the repro T-bird pickups apropos this thread.

Sounds pretty damn good, eh??? But truly the pickup rings are based more on the 70's design...Mike Lull and Thunderbucker are the only guys who get the rings right.

Damn, only now I noticed the difference! So, has anyone tried to "round" the corners of the rings?

I mean that is it possible to modify the 70's style rings to make them look more like the 60's ones?

Or should I order "the right looking rings" from Thunderbucker?
