I recently got a pair of Craig Vineham's fabulous early '60s Gibson Firebird spec Mini Humbuckers to replace the stock pickups in my 2006 Epiphone Custom Shop Firebird V.I have gone to Allparts,Stew-Mac,Gibson/Epiphone and a couple of others to find an adapter pickup surround ring,but to no avail. Does anyone have any knowledge of a guitar parts manufacturer or distributor who would have such an object?I am ready and raring to get the old Brian Jones/Johnny Winter tone.

They appear to be the right ones Arjay,thanks very much.I'll have to recheck my measurements to see if they are the right size as the pickup surrounds on Epiphones differ from the Gibson models as well the Epi surrounds for the Firebirds are wedge shaped when viewed from the side with the front surround thinner than the rear surround. I'll have to ask the seller a few questions before I commit to ordering any.Cheers.
