The pick up ring is really just a housing in which the pick up sits, holding it at the correct hight and angle in relation to the strings. I had been looking for some ready made ones, but then I realized I could make my own. Better yet, I could address the question I had in the first post; where else can I use oak? The pink paper is just template of what I'm going for. I wanted something that reflected the shape of the framing around the tuner dial on the old cathedral style radios.
The trick will be to get the angles and curves just right to make it fit on the guitar top properly. The one in the picture is oriented as though at the neck position. The one at the bridge would be inverted. This is because I want flush, close fittings near the edges of the neck and bridge.
