Well, I guess I will have to replace the pickup rings...

Anyone knows where can I find some good black rings ?? (they would be for the Caparison angelus, and for the Orbit) ???

Thanks !!!

Yeah, not a big deal at all come to think of it - for the models with the pickup rings. Not so easy for the Horus owners.
Bareknuckle sell pickup rings in the "Accessories" part of the webshop. Only £3 a pair  :lol:

Ohhhh now I see it !!! thanks

(weird, I told it to Tim, and refered me to another website... strange...)

Now the good questions...

- Plastic or Metal rings ??
- Slanted or With Curved Bottom ???(for the orbit and angelus ??  I dont know cause I havent received the guitars yet).

P.S. _tom_ sorry but, I already ordered the 4 sets of pickups ;) . Thanks anyway. (I will also get the sinner neck :D ).

Pickup rings :

I don't think the Orbit has an arched top, so normal flat rings I believe. It'll probably be the high sided type at the bridge, and it'll be plastic.
Careful with the single coil for the neck of the Orbit/Horus - see the triangular sort of shape cut into the wood there, well the pickup base is that shape also.
Probably OK to install single coil pickup in there, but IMO it would look a mess.
I'd get a custom made pickup to go in there personally.

Pickup rings ordered from BK :D... (the only thing is that they dont have it in stock at the moment, but I can wait).

Thanks for everything, adn I will try to make a review of each pickups when I receive it... (if I can, the best way as possible, with clips, and no words).

Dont worry, my Sinner neck will have that triangle shape ;)... so it will match it perfectly ;)..

I'm really dying to get the pickups (and also the guitars !!! counting the days).
