OK, I really feel stupid asking this question, but here goes anyway...
I want to mount a humbucker in the bridge postion and a single coil in the neck of my current build. But I want to mount them directly to the body, no mounting rings. I can't seem to find the right screws for the job though. The piuckups are threaded for a fine threaded screw and all of the wood screws that I have tried all seem to not fit properly. I'm also having a hard time finding the right length, especially for the humbucker since the body already has the "wells" drilled out for the original screws clearance for ring mounting. I was thinking about putting some dowels in there so that I could use a shorter screw, but I don't want to screw this build up.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them and I do apologize in advance if this question is something that had already been covered in another thread. I couldn't find it.
Thanks :icon_scratch:
