Duncan minibucker rings from Hamer Eclipse

Question

Posted

In working on my Eclipse project, I've noticed that the Duncan mini hum bucker/firebird style pickups are mounted in unusually shaped rings.  The rings seem to be wider than standard firebird flat mount rings, with the holes for mounting to the guitar body spread out wider than any replacements I've found.

Unfortunately, my original rings are in pretty rough shape.

What I'd really like to find is a source for custom clear acrylic replacements exactly the same size and shape as the stock units.

Next best would be locating a set of new chrome replacements.

Does anyone know if these rings were specifically made for the Hamer Eclipse?

Thanks

Ran into the same phenomenon on a Special/Eclipse/Firebird/P90/minibucker 5 way trainwreck.

For what it's worth, my Eclipse 12 came with tort rings (and TRC) that were patterned right off the Eclipse rings.  On your basic red Eclipse they look pretty sharp.  They were done for Stevie Clay of Grumpy Old Men, so you might want to get a hold of Platzer and see who did them, since I'm sure he had a hand in it.  ETA, they're quality stuff, not just bandsawed out and slapped on.

If you strike out completely let me know, I may have the factory rings for that Eclipse 12.  They're most likely identical to the 6 since they came with the same pickups.
