This item has been treated for weather resistance and improved strength. It is pre-painted, but basically requires no maintenance. This is a high-grade purpleheart in a deep color. It's in a different league from most of the brown-like materials that are commonly available. It has an ebony-like luster and is a very strong material. How about using it for a one-point color change or something similar? ======== Specifications and Details ======== This is an escutcheon ring designed with PRS's Paul's type as a motif. * It is not a compatible part with Paul's type, but a universal standard like Cusuton24 and many other manufacturers' products. It should be possible to replace it with most manufacturers' products as long as there is no part interference. The last photo is of a different work, but it is an image of the same type of product installed. The thickness is approximately 4.3mm. The 4-corner fixing screws support countersunk heads of 4mm/shaft diameter 2.8mm, and the coil mount screws support countersunk heads of 5.2mm/shaft diameter 3mm. The inner diameter is just right for Duncan's metal cover type. It is expected to have a stylish appearance with a smaller gap than general escutcheon rings. === Notes === Although the hole dimensions of this product are accurate, the dimensions of the guitar body itself tend to be very rough, and the screw holes are often slanted, or the escutcheon is installed in a distorted manner. We have designed it with some leeway, but please do not force it to be installed if you feel any discomfort to avoid damage. You can tighten the four screws neatly by temporarily securing them along the spiral marks and tightening each one little by little. Also, the springs on USA-made PRS guitars are long and too strong, so it is recommended to purchase appropriate ones or cut them to some extent before installing them.
