Wax?

[EKO]

is this stuff important, or hard to remove.

my plan is to take apart some strat pups and cut holes in the guitar for the pole bits to go

[weezerboy]

the wax in the pickups?

this is to stop any vibration which cause microphonic feedback.

[EKO]

so it really needs to be there?

i want to remove the white plastic strat pup covers, so i can just have all 6 pup heads to go through their own holes in the top wood of the guitar.
