Mount Pickups Without A Pickguard

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.
