Frequently Asked Questions

The corner radius difference primarily affects how snug the pickup sits within the ring; a tighter fit can subtly influence the pickup's vibration and tone.
It’s unlikely; many modern Filter'Trons have a smaller radius, meaning this ring might be too tight or not fit at all. Measure your pickup’s radius to be sure.
Yes, due to the steeper neck angle on models like the 5122, risers are essential to ensure the pickup sits at the correct height and doesn’t cause fret buzz.
