installing a Schaller sureclaw in a HSS strat body

[randomperson]

Hi everyone. I am currently building a swamp ash strat with a HSS pickup configuration and was looking into using a schaller sureclaw. I read online that the screws often pop out of the middle pickup route but Ive seen some people who had it installed just fine. is there a specific way to install the sureclaw and is the sureclaw better than a normal spring claw system?

I have it on two guitars, and working towards two more. Just don’t overdrill the pilot holes and you should be fine.
Measure the body thickness, depth of the trem cavity, and the thickness of the sure claw in order to determine if you just slightly shorter screws. I’ve ground them shorter in other applications.
