I need a pair of vintage black M-69 rings that were factory ground down on the bridge for a ES-335. These are going in a 65' ES-335 carcass I'm putting back together. I have a pair of rings that is unmolested but I really hate to grind the bridge down if I don't need to. If you have a pair I will gladly trade any ThroBak pickup pair or pedal for the rings. Email or post pictures if you want to trade.

Thanks!

Jon, I believe I have an unmolested pair as well that I'd probably be willing to trade to you if you're interested. I won't know for sure, though until early next week.

Hi Jon,

I have a nice clean set of M-69's spare that came off a '61 335 project that i'd gladly trade for a set of pickups.

I'm in the UK however, so it may not be your easiest option. You'd have to grind the bridge position down too, which you may not be keen on..

Mail me at yuukimcclure 'at' gmail 'dot com' if interested.

Many thanks,

J@S

Jon; Hi! I've got some old ones that would work for a 335. However, they don't blacklight even though I bought them from a reputable source (Hoboken Vintage) a few years back when Jim Pasch was still the owner. They do look right, but the blacklight thing bothers me and I'd not want to trade them to you cause of that. the bridge ring is a low one that is perfect for an early 335 or the middle spot on the 3-pickup Custom.
