Question Pickup Rings: How Hard to Change Them & Where To Find Them?

[mb99zz]

Hi all,

I have a nagging day dream of owning a Reflex but really like the idea of changing the black pickup ring with a cream colored ring. First off, how hard is it to replace the rings? Second, I have been unable to find an online store that carries the type of pickup rings MM uses on the Reflex (and 20th Silo). Has anyone found a source for that three-screw style PU ring?

Thanks!!!

I believe this is a MM design, so I dont think you will be able to find it anywhere else. Cream colored on the 20th Silo might look pretty cool.

Thanks! I know somebody makes them GC's Reflex models all seem to come with cream colored rings, but they don't seem to have the body color I'm craving.

Try checking directly with customer service and see if they will set the rings independently.

Did it on my 25ths. Call Customer Service (AJ). Not hard to do. They are deeper than the standard rings, but not difficult to deal with. Look great too.

Awesome! Thanks, guys. BBake1 - the 25th looks really sweet.

Nice Bob. Its nice to have them look different.

I always wondered why you had identical twins.

One is standard (cream), the other is Eb (black).
