danimal997 said:hahaha nice one. I read some reviews of the mounting rings(stew mac) interfering with the volume knob.
I have a different experience. I put the screwdriver on the screw and adjust the height, it can't be easier than that.Cagey said:... if you need to adjust height (and you do), it's a real pain in the shorts without mounting rings...
Kostas said:Personally I [wood mount pickups] strictly for aesthetic reasons, single coil rings look weird to me.
line6man said:Unfortunately, there really is no attractive way to do single coils without a pickguard, unless you have direct mount singles with no flange on the base. Direct mounting traditional Strat-style single coil doesn't look right, as the base is exposed, showing the rather delicate wiring, and leaving a V-shaped gap between the pickups and the laminate top. Using mounting rings, however, is the epitome of trash in the vast majority of cases.
Personally, I would go for direct mounting, but that's just me.
