Frequently Asked Questions

It's crucial to confirm the corner radius matches; modern Filter'Trons sometimes have smaller radii, which may cause fitment problems.
No, this ring is specifically for TV Jones Universal Mount pickups, which have different dimensions than standard humbuckers.
High-bridge guitars (like many T.O.M. equipped models) require a lower profile ring to prevent pickup clank, while low-bridge instruments (F-style or tremolo) can use this ring regardless.
