MasterMinds Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I have a question on mounting my pickups using a cover ring. The cover ring has holes for the two screws that go through it, through the pickup, and use the spring to raise/lower it. When I set the screw in the cover ring, the bottom of the screw does not even touch the wood of the guitar deep in that crevase (sp?) below the pickups hole for the screw Does the screw not go through the word, and just supposed to fit tightly into the pickup hole or what? if there's something wrong with my screws, where can I get new ones? thanks!

JoeAArthur Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 No, the height adjustment screws do not go through to the wood. They're just meant to raise/lower the pickup body inside the pickup ring - which of course is attached to the body with the four other wood screws.

Tonerider Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Do the springs come into play when the pickup is raised to the height it will be when the guitar is set up? If they do, you should be OK. If you pickup cavity is deep enough, just worry about the springs, not the screw. Changing screw wont make the least bit of difference if you have got short springs!
