Hello fellow musicians,
I am assembling this kit at school for a grade. With much of the prep work done I am about ready to assemble. However I have run into some issues along the way. The pick-up pockets were not quite deep enough and I fixed my problems using a small end-mill in a Drummel. My more concerning problem is the screws and springs that attach the pick-ups to the body. As the picture shows the pick-ups are roughly 1"(25.4 mm), the springs 7/8"(22-23 mm) and the screws are maybe 1 1/4 - 1 3/8(30-35 mm). When the springs are fully compressed there is only 1/4"(6-7 mm) of threads available for holding the pick-ups in. Should I get smaller springs or longer screws? I don't think it makes much sense to send screws that aren't the right length.
