jlarremore Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I need to mount a single coil pickup in a tele (neck) without a pickguard. I remember seeing a graphic illustrating this but I can't find it. Can someone give me a hand finding it, please? It's my last step before finishing a project guitar. Thanks, Jef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Jef Tele neck pickups usually just screw directly into the wood. The pickguard is there to cover up the cavity (and the wiring route), but doesn't actually carry the pickup.

USAF1989 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Here you go: STEWMAC It's a pick-up ring for a single coil. Is that what you are looking for? If using a ring, the order from top to bottom is: ring, spring, pup cover, pickup...a screw goes thru all of it, just like using a strat pickguard. If you don't want to use a pickguard or pick-up ring, then you place the spring under everything: pup cover, pup, spring...screw goes thru it all.
