Reflex/25th/Other pickup rings

[jlf599]

Does anyone know if there are replacement/alternative pickup rings that the Reflex and 25th Anniversary use? I can't seem to find anything like them out there. Does any other builder/company use these or are they something particular to EBMM?

I’ve never seen them anywhere else.

In house design I believe.

I was afraid of that. Oh well. They're not awful. but I'd love some better options.

I'm a little surprised they didn't just go with some sort of standard 4 hole-in-the-corner version just for simplicity.

Just curious, have you checked w/ EBMM CS for replacement availability? Would be bad news if they didn't offer those given their rarity.

The black looks pretty good, I think. That finish is off the charts, by the way.

I've seen whites recently on a black Reflex. Maybe they do have other colors. Chrome would look much better.

I was thinking about chrome on this Reflex and gold on my 25th. Not sure I've seen anything other than black or cream/white, though.

I haven't yet. I figured I'd ask here first...but I should drop them an email.

My reflex has a pickguard, so no pickup rings on mine.

 

[GWDavis28]

A foiled pickguard might look pretty good.

Well.... this guy has white/cream ones on his....

I got replacement ones from EBMM customer service years ago when I was cleaning up my 25th.

 

[jlf599]

Heard back from customer service today - they order them in bulk from an unnamed supplier and they're available black, white, or cream.

So I guess I stick with the black ones I already have on there.

You could always get some white ones and paint them.

I think the black ones look great on that, fwiw
