Pickup lost its thread

[Jonny R]

The neck pickup on my Tele, an SD stack, has lost the thread on the plastic base. So now it wont stay on the screw at all, and just keeps falling down into the cavity...

Any ideas on how to fix? The guitar's not really a lot of use until I can get this fixed...

Re: Pickup lost its thread

is it metal or plastic? if its metal you can pull it out and smash the screw hole a little. If its plastic maybe you can heat the hole up with a lighter so it melts closed a little.

Erm, I believe it's plastic. I'll check.

Knowing my luck I'll royally shaft it up though hehe...
