Anyone know if anyone makes/sells Nickel plated rings? I have a 2003 Firebird VII and have old, early Sixties pickups that Gibson made for Harmony/Silvertone that are nickel plated. I’d like to use Nickel surrounds/rings for them instead of the chrome ones.
Anyone know know if any company offers Nickel rings?
cheers/Thanks!

Be aware that modern day pickup rings are bigger on the inside dimensions than the old pickup covers. There will be a gap...larger than some people can live with. I made a run of nickel plated original spec rings some years back to fit vintage Firebirds and sold many sets. Seymour Duncan is the only manufacturer that I am aware of that makes pickups to the original size specs.

I do believe the mojo tone rings are sized for ceramics . I think I have a set will look and post size if I still have the rings .
