so th pickup that was in the guitar was a p-90 size pickup. I have a 490 and I need a mounting ring that will cover the hole left by the p-90 mounting ring... I may make one out of wood, but i'm not positive on that right now, would that work? Thanks...

here is the deal, I have this Univox 335 copy and I am putting Gibson 490's in it. But the Mounting rings that are on the guitar have an opening that is too wide and too short to fit the humbuckers. The cut-out in the guitar for the pickups is the shape of a P-90. I am wondering if I will be able to buy a pickup ring that will fit this pickup, or if I will have to get one custom made at a machine shop... any help would be incredible... Thanks

I am probably only going to put pickups into a few guitars, anyone have any suggestions on what kind of tool I should get and what material/solder I should use? I have some limited experience with a soldering gun, but really have no clue as to what I would need to use for this job. I am putting in 2 humbuckers with 2 vol, 2 tone and 3way into a hollow body Univox Effie because one of the originals is trashed... Thanks for any help...
