So I'm currently in the middle of modding my Tele. It's an American special. I wanted to try some hotrails in it. Then I thought about putting a cool rails (for strat) in the neck!
I ordered all my pickups and parts - new pickgaurd!
Putting it all together - the pickgaurd screw holes don't line up!! I know this is a common thing. I've heard people use toothpicks or something for a dowel - how well does this work? It lines up so the holes are half covered so if I drill a new hole it will make the original one massive!
Also I'm a bit confused how the cool rails for strat attaches to the pickgaurd - I have a feeling Im using the wrong screws - maybe too thin - they came in one of the boxes.
Either that or I need to put foam underneath the pickup!? From the looks of it however, the original tele neck pickup was just sitting in the cavity!
The screws that hold the pickup in and raise or lower the pickup hight just fall out!
