A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

Does anybody out there have any idea where I might be able to find parts for a '76 Ibanez Custom Agent Model 2405?
Specifically I'm looking for a neck pickup ring (black)—the CA is a Les Paul clone, so has arched top—thought I'd found one but is was for a flat top style. I suppose as a last resort I could always see if anyone I know has access to a 3D printer. The problem with mine is that one corner is broken off and ring is cracked at two of the screw holes …
Also would like to replace the gold bridge saddles which are completely corroded—still functional, but look like crap!
Maybe even a gold tailpiece which is worn down to the base metal …

I tore a hamstring, so am out of playing live for a few months, might as well work on upgrading my gear.

What makes the Ibanez Custom Agent Model 2405 pickup ring different?
I mean pickup rings aren't hard to find flat or arched.
Sorry about the hamey.

The earlier years had different hole spacing … and on mine the long face on the fingerboard side is shorter than the bridge side. Nothing that some careful sanding couldn't address, just have to find right dimensions.

I wonder if it could be glued back together from back/underside using some fibers to reinforce it all together so the ring sets with fibrous strength, then put back around pickup once set.

I may have some black rings for a japan made LP copy. I know when i switched them out, the ones i bought had different mounting screw hole spacing as you said, let me look.

Thanks for the suggestions and the good wishes—I found a set on the Bay, right size but he height adjustment bolt holes were too narrow … I reamed them out carefully using my late dad's Stanley hand drill. Then two of the corner screw holes were a bit off, but there was enough room to make new holes.
Finally, when I remounted the bridge pickup, there was a spring missing! I shook the guitar, turned it over and over, but nothing fell out, (and no, it wasn't stuck to the back of the pickup magnet!). Fortunately I found a spare one in my parts box, although I had to shorten it a tad …
Have put in my Xmas request with the "boss" for a gold Nashville bridge and tailpiece, mine are completely worn down to the metal and the saddles look like crap.
