I need two new pickup rings for my 2003 LS80F, but I didn't know whether I needed rings with a flat or a curved bottom surface. Having taken the originals off, the weird thing is that one side of the ring seems curved, whereas the other is flat.
To illustrate: if I take the ring for the neck pickup, and look at the side that is closest to the neck, the pickup ring's bottom is pretty much flat. However, the side that is closest to the bridge is clearly curved somewhat to follow the top. Same thing with the bridge ring, although it's the other way around there (bridge side flat, neck side curved).
I need some new rings as soon as possible and I have to mail order them so I can't really check them out in person. The company I called couldn't really give a definitive answer as to which I needed. Does anyone here know?
