MA that fretboards got to be looking like an old piece of shoe leather. Were you able to use it again? Im interested because I steamed one and removed and I thought my life was coming to an end!

I drilled the pickup height adjustment mounts out on my drill press very slightly to allow wood screws to pass thru and mount. I drilled just enough as not to drill out smaller diameter brass insert completely.

I had this problem direct- mounting emgs to the body. I took the pickups to the drill press and opened the holes very slightly so that the wood screws I had would slide in tightly and mount to body. Needless to say, the pups will not be able to go back into rings, but you only live once!

Now thats a beautiful finish! Totally original and IMO way better than a reg swirl. I friggin love it!!!! By the way hi all its my first post. This site rules! Its given me the encouragement to go for it!
