RGA8 - Where to get EMG style pickup covers?

[Tragedy87]

Okay so, I pickup my new RGA8 next week and I've already ordered DImarzio D-Activator 8 pickups for it.

My question is....where do you get the EMG40 style pickup covers now? Looks like guitarjonesusa.com is no longer a site, but they used to be the "go to" site to buy this type of stuff.

Anyone have any recommendations?


OR - have they made the pickup ring that fits inside the cavity that fills the gap yet?


Thanks!


PS - not looking for regular pickup rings. They are fugly.

I'm going through the same with my RGA8, dude.

There's that fretsonthenet place. But he isn't taking anymore orders until after the new year apparently.

I think you have to get bass emg pickup covers so they fit as there isn't an 8 string option - there is a site that was brought up the other day but I can't remember it aha

I myself have contacted a local luthier who is making pickup rings for me with the specifications I sent him. So, that'll work out!

Found them online. Just ordered 4 in case I mess a set up for some reason.

Aren't 8 strings the 45 size pickup? I thought 40 was for 7s

How do you know which one those covers are?

I need to know ASAP if I ordered the wrong ones or not, hah.

The EMG-808's are an EMG-40 size, so I believe I ordered the proper size. 4.00'' x 1.5''

7-string: 35
8-string: 40
9-string: 45

Whew. Thank you. Just measured the cavity myself.

I've just checked that link out. Thought the price was fantastic and I'd use them in another project. Shipping is $40 holy hell why aren't these things readily available in the UK god damn it!
