Does anyone know the correct screws for mounting the DD HB102 pickups? Is it M3 or #3 3-48 x 1 1/4"? Also why do people sell pickups WITHOUT these screws in the first place?
Not sure. I had one where I reamed the hole for a larger screw, then wound up glueing a nut to the base plate that fit the bolts I used to attach the pickup to the ring.
Pickup manufacturers supply brand new pickups with the correct screws;
1) To ensure a correct fit.
2) To ensure correct appearance. (e.g. induced tarnishing and wear on SD Antiquity models.)
3) To prevent some customers whinging that screws had not been supplied.
I was just having the same problem with a couple of SC-101 that I am putting in a Frankenstrat to sell. Please post if you find where to get them. I will post if I find anything.
