Hey Tweaky, I was writing at the same time as you were. You may have missed my question re: polymer clay.
Geez, those Kinman's ain't cheap, but that first video sold me. (Clean bridge / natural neck - I want!)
Which set did you get?

Yeah, I just saw your post.Originally Posted by Muzza
I ended up opting for the relatively newer version of the HX P90's a Nasty neck and Nasty bridge model.... as far as I know, this option is only available directly from Kinmans website.
I've got a set of Kinman MKIII traditional Strat pickups in my Frankienstrat, with his K-9 wiring harness....they are the best Strat pickups I've ever heard.... that's why I thought I'd stick with the brand.
I also bought Kinmans for the ES-3 build, Extra Vintage neck & Bridge Humbuckers.
Sure they are expensive [still cheaper than a lot of others], but they are built incredibly well, and if you visit the Kinman website and order through that, you will see that you have a lot of different options available to you regarding exact specs that you can choose from when ordering, something that probably isn't available, or known about, if buying his pick-ups elsewhere.
As for the pick up ring problem.
Have you tried taping some sandpaper across the top of the guitar where the rings are supposed to fit?, the sandpaper would take the shape of the top, just try sanding away at the bottom of the pickup rings till the two curvatures match.
There is another method that involves taking a mould of the top of your guitar, then using that to make new pickup rings.
It's a bit involved, and I think it would be best if I took some shots of a mock-up of what is involved so it's easy to understand, rather than typing out instructions....batteries are flat on the Nikon ATM...will post back later.
