Fortunately, the super 70's are back in it, however, I have an extra hole drilled in my rings. Help please.

There is a extra hole drilled between the outer two on the bass side in both my pickup rings. However, I wanted to fit some old Super 70's in the guitar (twin adjustment). Being as the rings are buggered now anyway and it may take a while to get a new set, I decided to fix up the surrounds best I could. I plugged the two outer holes with a plastic bung, cut off the excess and polished it down with some really fine worn out paper. Then I polished the whole surround with my Dremel. It doesn't look too bad. You should be able to do the same with the center hole on your surrounds assuming you have 3 point adjustment Super 70's back in the guitar. six   Jcmc64 Username: Jcmc64 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Tuesday, October 23, 2007 - 10:16 pm:    six ...what is "bung" ?   Jazzzbo Username: Jazzzbo Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Wednesday, October 24, 2007 - 1:23 am:    in boating terminology its a piece of teak wood or similar to fit over a screw hole on a deck, so, bung here , is a piece of plastic? jazzzz   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Wednesday, October 24, 2007 - 4:53 am:    That's close enough Jazz. Also, where I come from in England we say things like "Bung (pass) that newspaper over here will ya." six   Sabeking Username: Sabeking Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Wednesday, October 24, 2007 - 7:04 am:    Six, Thanks for the tip... Yes, I have the original three screw Super 70's in the guitar. At some point (previuos owner) changed the pickups to two screw pickups and drilled new holes. So, do you think Hoshino has any new old stock pickup rings? Do you think I am out of luck unless somebody has some they would sell? Thanks, Stacey   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Wednesday, October 24, 2007 - 6:08 pm:    We'll probably have a long wait. I even tried the black rings off my Weir on the PF to see if they fit. The trouble is, these 3 hole rings appear to be a tad wider than normal 2 hole rings so the 4 mounting holes on the body don't line up. I tried some after market rings and some rare 'white' Ibanez rings that I bought years ago and none of them fit. That's why I decide to fill the holes in. No loss really. six   Mattfrox Username: Mattfrox Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Thursday, October 25, 2007 - 11:01 am:    Sabeking, You can get a plastic filler putty used for repairing auto dashes. Would work very good to fill extra holes. Off topic. I need super 70 rigs for my PF400. Is there a possibility that the newer Ibanez models equipped with 58's will fit? Are the newer 58's about the same size as the Super 70's. Cheers, M.
