I am slowly putting together my Warmoth, and right now I am fitting the humbuckers in. Usually, I might drill out the mounting tabs on the pickup and use something like a Tele neck pickup wood screw for this. However, this body presents a problem, as there aren't they typical 'wells' in the pickup cavity for the longer screws. The other issue is that these are Custom Shop pickups, and I realized I don't really want to drill out the holes on these.
Any ideas of how to do this? I've seen expensive solutions like the FU Tone PMS brass plates, but they are $100 for 2 pieces of brass. and they won't work without the 'wells' under the mounting tabs.
The best solution would be very thin, black wood screws that pass right through the mounting holes and allow me to screw them into the wood. However, finding a wood screw that thin enough is a little bit of a process. I've seen others mention humbucker mounting ring screws, but I don't have any here, and I don't think they are thin enough.
