yavuz Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I have a custom made millie ( see pics below ) At the time of the purchase, HRW PuPs have just been discontinued. So I have waited and finally found a gold HRW. I have installed the PuP but the angle is night quite right. I have another Heritage ( It's an H575 see the pic below... ) It has an HRW as well... However, it's PuP ring has to screws on each side. You can control the angle this way. My Millie came with a SD59 so It has one hole on each side on the PuP ring... So, I have to chafe the PuP Ring to control the PuP angle. Where can I buy the right PuP ring and the screws, springs for my Millie? It needs to have two holes on each side and has to have the right curve for the Millie. Could Heritage have these in stock somewhere? Thanks...
H Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I can source the black Schaller pickup ring for you in the UK. They are flat-bottomed as standard, you need to shape them yourself. I can find one of my old posts that shows how this is done. It's pretty easy.
PunkKitty Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 You need a Schaller pickup ring. HRWs are Schaller pickups that were modified by Ren Wall. You may have luck finding one in Europe. They are scarce in the USA. But I would guess that the odds are better in Turkey. If you have any relatives living in Germany they might be able to get one for you.

H Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 You mean you can ship one for me? What do I need to do? Thanks.... There's a company in the UK that stock these pickup rings. They won't send outside the UK. I can buy it for you and send it to your address - we can sort out the money later. It is a neck pickup ring you need, isn't it?
H Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 This is the company - looks like they're out of stock at the moment. http://www.guitarbitz.com/guitar-parts-c29/pickups-c37/schaller-mounting-ring-1-4-black-p633
MartyGrass Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 This may not help you, but Pete Moreno bought out Heritage's Schaller rings. They are scarce but still available in the US. It seems like someone on HOC would have some extra.

H Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 This looks straight. Will this work? It *is* straight. You'll need to do some work to get the correct curve on the base of the pickup ring. This is very easy and takes just a few minutes I've done this job several times. I'll place the order with the shop and find out when the ring will be delivered to me. I'll PM you with the details.
H Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Yavuz, see my instructions in this old thread for sanding a contour onto a pickup ring: http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/topic/17706-pre-radiused-pickup-rings-for-h150cm If the instructions are not clear, I can post some pics of the work.
H Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Hi Yavuz, bad news and good news... The UK supplier is out of stock and doesn't know when more stock will arrive The good news is that I found the same part on a German website who will send directly to you I think. http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_130.htm?sid=d58868efe3063f7ebef9febeca17f643 If they won't send to you, let me know and I'll buy it and send it to you.

This ring at the link looks a bit thin for the height. The one I have on is thinner on the neck side and thicker on the other side. I mean it is angled when you look at it from the side... There is also the curve issue which you say is not a problem to fix. So, just to make sure ( thanks for bearing with me btw ), Is this particular ring at this link will fit my Millie's neck PuP? Thank you very much. It looks like I can order from Thomann but If I run into any problems, I will take you up on your offer... Thanks very much
