THE BENEFITS OF USING REAL WOOD FOR PICKUP RINGS:
Plastic rings, while traditional and easy to produce, have offered stability and consistency to guitar makers for many years. The same can be said for metal pickup rings. To be sure, that is why guitar manufacturers have and continue to produce pickup rings from those materials with great success. A guitar should be as musical as possible - that is its purpose after all - it is an instrument from which one can create music. From an engineering perspective you look at each component of a guitar and ask if it is contributing to the sound and the tone of the instrument, whether it can contribute, whether it is indifferent or perhaps even detrimental to the sound of a guitar. When wood is selected as a material for pickup rings, back plates, truss covers or even our new "Trem Blocks", it brings to the guitar an intrinsic beauty and a sublte improvement in sound that can't be obtained from plastic or metal. Customers who were convinced this was not possible have emailed to confirm to their suprise that they in fact noticed a slight improvement in the sound of their guitar. The beauty that these pickup rings bring to the guitar give the player a higher form of experience when looking at or playing the guitar. It pleases more of your senses and that has everything to do with inspiration and creativity. Once they are in place, they hold a pickup very securely while offering the right visual vibe. Eddie Van Halen once stated that he felt the sound of a pickup was improved once it was screwed directly into the wood. That is the importance of the wood-rings-to-pickup contact - It purifies the relationship between the pickup itself and the rest of the guitar.
