RG5702JPM Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 How hard is this to do? Do I need to fill the pickup cavity with something like epoxy or do you recomend another way? Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 You will probably need to help yourself by pre-drilling the holes but be VERY careful since you don't have much depth in the wood to work with. Other than that no problem and I would skip filling unless you think it is absolutly necessary......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG5702JPM Posted October 28, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 The problem with my pick ups is that the RG570 body I have, the Dimarzio pickup sink to the bottom of the cavity and are flush with the top surface of the body, so I would have to fill wouldn't I?

Brian Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 You have two options or a combination of both. You can use springs to hold up the pup's which fit around the actual mounting screws or you can make little blocks of wood to act as spacers which can be glued into the center of the pickup cavitys. Personally I wouldn't fill I would just add the little blocks to hold them up higher and place a piece of foam inbetween the block and pup so you can still adjust the pickup's height without having to deal with the springs.

RG5702JPM Posted October 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Well there's good news and bad news. The pick up holes are really funky looking. They don't have just the little ears on the sides like my 7620 if you know what I'm describing but look more like a big ugly hole. So i have decided to direct mount with a block inside the cavity but still put on the bezel's. I hope it looks ok. The good news is I am about 85% stripped on the body so it won't be long. I'm taking pics as I go so I will be sure to post. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
