Does anybody know of a source for cream color humbucker trim rings that are slightly (maybe 3/32") longer lengthwise than standard Gibson Historic rings.  Found a nice '59 Les Paul reissue that had one in the bridge position that had marked the finish when the previous owner tightened the screws so much he broke the screws countersink "seat" so the ring won't hold.  Both the Gibson and Philadelphia Lutherie rings don't quite cover the marred finish at the 'ends of the ring.  Hoping somebody knew of some other manufacturers rings that could cover (I know they exist, I have the one that came on the guitar-only it's broken) and I don't care if they exactly match the Historic rings height/appearance.
 
Cool website, but I'm hoping for info on just a bit oversize stock plastic rings, or some reference material that might compare sizes.  Thanks for the info and congratulations on the GOM!
