Hey.
I need short-legged pickups for my Gibson SG, but in any web store (ebay or not) I only see long legged versions. How do I order short legs.
I am talking about the SH1 - 59. I need a set (neck and bridge).

I am talking about European stores (and e-bay sellers) - they never mention if the pickups are sold with long legs or short legs.
If I put pickup rings on top of the pickguard (SG Standard) will long legs fit in?

Long legs will fit in the cavity ok. Problem is...the screws won't be long enough to adjust the pickup away from the strings enough. So the PU will just fall off of the screws into the cavity. Then you have to take off the PU ring to reattach the PU. Big annoying pain.
