dawnofzion Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) I am currently putting new pickups into my old guitar but I have a problem. The hole for the humbucker was a tad but too small and the humbucker slides into the hole but it touches the guitar body in some places inside the hole. the part that touches is the metal base plate and the ribbon that goes around the pickup. my question is, will this cause any problem? I will still be screwing in the pickup ring on top of it. also my rail pickups are touching the same way as well. *edit* thread topic wrong. pickups too BIG for the holes. not to small.

dawnofzion Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 will the vibrations from the body mess up the pickups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikhailgtrski Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 The pickup touching the wood shouldn't cause any problems at all. In fact, some people prefer to mount them directly to the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yeah, it shouldn't have a negative impact on your tone, really. I'm sort of surprised they're too big, anyway. Which ones did you wind up buying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnofzion Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I got the 10k rails for both the neck and the middle, and a fat PAF for the bridge. i should have it all finished hopefully this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
