Question About Wood Mount Pickups

[Edison Chase]

When you order a custom body with the pickup route for "Humbucker (Wood Mount)", does Warmoth install the mounting studs into the body route for the pickup ?

If not, where do I buy those to install myself ?

 

[Spud]

They do not.

It's easier to adjust pickups height with a ring or pickguard mount, in my honest opinion (imho)

When I did a wood mount build I bought the inserts and screws from McMaster Carr. I don’t remember exactly which, but I’m sure someone can point you to them

Looks like I'd need 2-56 Brass screw-to-expand inserts.

threaded inserts

In this thread OP is using threaded inserts for their bolt-on neck: https://unofficialwarmoth.com/threads/natural-ash-soloist.34477/ Stupid question: That's for cases where you might want to attach and remove the neck often, right? Is there a downside? Also (if not) is there a pickguard...

In this post I gave all the details of what I have used.
