What Size Screws For Direct Mounting Humbuckers?

[CudBucket]

The screws that came with my Dimarzios are for mounting rings. I'm direct mounting them into my project guitar. Can any tell me what size/type of screws I need for this?

Thanks.

Wood screws slightly smaller than the holes in the mounting tabs and short enough that they won't go through the back of the guitar.

At least, that's what I would do...

I kinda of figured that's what I do if there wasn't a specific kind of screw to use. Thanks!

Dave,

I thought I saw some specialty screws on Stew-Mac for direct mounting.

I use the screws for mounting pickup rings to direct mount my pickups

Do you drill a smallest hole than the mounting ring screw and force it into the wood?

Cuz if you use a wood screw the lenght you need just to mount it, it's ok, but you can't use the PU anymore than another direct mount situation. That way you could be able to use it in the future also for mounting ring, that's a better way, sure!!!

I say this cuz I can't find a screw that doesn't enlarge the hole in the PU al least where I live.
