All,
I just installed Bareknuckle Mother's Milk pickups on my warmoth rear route body/guitar using guidance from this Warmoth video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UNKIoIomKs
So they're wood mounted. But Instead of using foam, I installed springs to raise/lower the pickups to the right height. The pickup cavities are shielded using copper tape.
Before describing the problem, I'll add that I did exactly the same thing on another Warmoth body using Bareknuckle Old Guard single coil pickups. No problems whatsoever.
That said, the Mother's Milk pickups turn themselves "on" or "off" depending on the angle that I tilt them. If I tilt them toward the bridge, they "turn off" - no sound at all. If I tilt them toward the neck, they miraculously turn on again.
The only thing I can think of is that somehow the springs and steel screws are creating some sort of "short circuit" situation.
Interested in any theories anyone might have. Of course, I could always install the foam instead of springs. But I can't help but wonder why my other build works 100% using the same materials/approach.
Any help is appreciated.
Isaac
