Strat/Tele pickup screws

[McCreed]

US Strat pickup mounting screws are #6-32 x 3/4".

Because the holes in a tele neck pickup are slightly smaller for body mounting, you can use a #4 (1/8") machine screw and not need to force it through. You can get the #6 through but it's best to slightly widen the hole with a drill bit (in your hand) so you don't risk tearing or splitting the fibre flatwork.

Also, what king casey said about the fit of a tele vs strat pickup hole is a consideration, particularly the difference in the distance between the mounting holes of the two.

OK, so try the #4-32 first. If too small #6-32.

I will also have some M4-0.7 which is what the bridge pup mounts with. Would they work just as well or would it be best to use the US sizes on the neck pup?...maybe because of the broader spacing of the threads?

Hmmm...second person to give this warning. Maybe I am missing something. It looks to me like the pickguard is OK, and that the holes on the pup match with those on the pickguard. Since I don't have screws yet I used some wire to test the fit. Posting a pic. I think everything lines up, but maybe you guys are seeing something I am not?

When I ordered the pickguard I asked for it with a Tele neck pickup rout and standard pickup holes.
