Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack screw Tele

[merlin123]

Hi
i got a Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack for Tele.
The mounting screws included are some which are used for direct wood monting.
I need 2 screws for pickguard mounting because my MIM Fender Tele Body has a humbucker routing for the neck pickup.
Which sort of screws can i use?
Which diameter in milimeter should i use?

greetings merlin123

Re: Seymour Duncan Vintage Stack screw Tele

I am having this same problem today. My original MIM Tele neck pickup screws are too small in diameter for the Vintage Stack neck pickup screw holes. What the heck size does Duncan use? Are the holes even threaded? I need new screws and bolts and a trip to the hardware store?

SOLUTION:

I used the twist tie approach and it worked pretty well, it was quick and simple. I used a single gold twist tie from a gift bag because it was the thinnest gauge I had. I inserted it in the whole and cut the excess and used it for the other side too. I used the springs that came with the 2018 MIM Telecaster Standard that were used to attach the stock pickup to the pick-guard. I think I used humbucker screws I had in my parts box. I put a bit of foam under the neck side of the pickup to make it protrude at a straight 90 degree angle up, because it was slightly off angle at first.
