i gave the guy the model number of the guitar and he made a pickguard. I don't really know what that means if you could elaborate or tell me what to do.
EDIT: i just looked up direct mount pickups and i think that might be the case, which sucks. Know i think im just gunna install the pickups then cut out the pickguard so it will fit around unless there's a better course of action.
these are the pickups i have, they don't say if theyre direct mount or not, the originals that came with the guitar def aren't.
