I bought some cocobolo pick up rings for my S1220.

They came unfinished, so I sanded them smooth, radiused the top outside edges, lightly stained them with red mahogany, and finished them in clear satin.

Came out pretty good, eh?

Hi Johns and Ibanezfreak - thanks for your comments (and your help w/the pix)!

I got the rings from John Guilford at

Speaking as a former cabinetmaker and finisher...

I have to say that wood (including the guitar itself) is gorgeous.
