Needed: 1 humbucker screw and spring only!
Hi
Can anyone with some spares (or a pickup builder) help? I bought a used PRS guitar and the bridge humbucker was sitting a bit oddly. Turns out it has no spring on the screw and I'm pretty sure the screw is the wrong size for the guitar and the humbucker seems to slip off it.
Would anyone have a spare screw and spring for a USA PRS humbucker that they could send me for a sensible small fee? They are about £5 for a full set of 4 online but I only need one screw and one spring which would fit in a normal paper envelope so wouldn't cost much to post. Happy to pay cost and postage.
If I don't hear anything I'll probably just order a set online but thought I'd ask here first knowing there's so many great chaps about. :-)
Thanks
Rik

US thread screws (3-48) are actually narrower than the Far Eastern screws (3mm diameter). So if the thread isn’t biting, then the hole in the pick up leg is worn - Steve Robinson is usually correct…
I wonder if a 3mm (M3) screw will ‘bite’ if a US spec hole is little bit enlarged…
I’m not sure if it actually is slipping off it or not. It might be that it wasn’t properly installed.
Being a PRS pick-up I think it’s a US thread.
