Got a new Vintage Stack for Tele. One of the mounting holes in the bobbin must be slightly too big because neither of the included screws will bite. I was able to mount it still by wrapping the screw in masking tape. Is this a long-term solution? Should I try to get a slightly larger screw?

I use regular pickup screws, or, IIRC #4or #6 straight screws (not sheet metal or wood screws, more like "bolts") from Ace or Home Depot etc. They cut their own threads if you screw them through gently.Originally posted by crusty philtrumAnyone who *sings* at me through their teeth deserves to have a bus drive through their face

Yup! I just went to Ace Hardware this week to do this. Take the pickup with you and try out different screws. I would suggest Ace if you have one nearby. HD has the screws in packages. Ace Hardware still has bins where you can try the screws out before purchasing them.Originally posted by crusty philtrumAnyone who *sings* at me through their teeth deserves to have a bus drive through their face
