Direct mounting single coil pickups

[wesman]

Aquired a couple of plexiglass mounting plates from E-bay,
but they're a foot thick, not to mention pretty cheesy looking to boot,

Time for plan B.

I've seen the Ibby/ Charvel/ Washburn screw-it-into the body deal,
But I'm not real keen on that either, they seem to strip pretty easily.

I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Steward-Macdonald has mounting rings for single-coil pickups, but I can't get the direct URL to work.

Stew-Mac is at: www.stewmac.com/

Then go to Hardware, Parts -> Electric Guitar: Covers, plates.
They are about halfway down the page on the left-hand side.

That link would be: Stew-Mac's Mounting Rings

p.s. Frank, the link is overly long for ProBoards to handle. I cheated, and removed a comma and a colon from the link - they aren't needed, obviously.

Hmm... Sumgai, your link goes to humbucker rings. wesman is looking for mounting rings for single-coils.

wesman, I'm not sure if this is helpful, but try: Single Coil rings

I don't think the problem is the length. If I recall right, commas and colons aren't allowed in URLs.

Their server can handle them internally, obviously, but Proboards doesn't.

Dean,

nice try on that link, but the board does weird thing to long links.

depending on the computer, this might get wesman to where you were pointing.

Thanks for the replies,
I intended on using those but my project is a little over budget, so I went with the cheaper plexiglass ones
(bad move on my part, oh well live & learn).

I'm thinkin' now I'll just screw 'em to the body & call it a day.
Anybody know what size screws to buy??

Thanks,
Wesman

Yeah - weird. It inserted a space between the "p" and "s" in the word "Pickups". I checked my post and there is definitely no space. It's all good though - you had the right link for wesman.

Right you are. Obviously, I was in too big of a hurry, when all I wanted was to get in a last bit of "help", before heading out on vacation, and I blew it. Ah, well, it's been corrected, so all's well that ends well.
