Detail 01
1/8" height
This is the shorter neck-side ring. Using a bridge-height ring here would sit the pickup too far from the strings.

GibsonPickup Mounting Ring, 1/8" Neck - Cream
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Cream neck-position pickup mounting ring from Gibson, 1/8" height. For replacing broken rings or swapping pickup ring color on an arched-top guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a cracked neck pickup ring on a Gibson-style guitar
- Switching from black to cream rings for a vintage look
- Restoring a guitar after a pickup swap damaged the original ring
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bridge position — bridge rings are taller to match the angled top
- Flat-top guitars, since these rings are contoured for an arched top
- Direct-mount guitars with pickups screwed into the body
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Neck position
The ring's angle is cut for the neck end of an arched top. It will not sit flat at the bridge.
Detail 03
Cream color
Matches cream pickup covers and knobs. New cream will look brighter than aged plastics on an older instrument.
Detail 04
Mounting ring, not a pickup
It holds the pickup and sets its height range. Adjustment screws let you fine-tune output within that range.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Screws and springs may need to be reused from your old ring — check what you have
- 02Confirm you need neck, not bridge; bridge rings are the taller ones
- 03Removing the old ring means unsoldering nothing, but the pickup must come loose first
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between the neck and bridge ring?
Height. The neck ring is shorter at 1/8". An arched top rises toward the bridge, so the bridge ring is taller to keep the pickup level with the strings.
02Will this fit a flat-top guitar?
It is contoured for an arched top, so it will not sit flush on a flat body. On a flat top you would see a gap along one edge.
03Does it include the pickup mounting screws?
Plan on reusing your existing pickup height screws and springs. Check the old ring before you discard it.
04Will cream match my existing pickup covers?
It matches other cream parts. If your guitar's plastics have aged and yellowed, this new ring will look brighter next to them.
