Title: changing pole piece screws
Post by: gwEm on November 16, 2006, 02:03:21 PM

I was thinking of swapping the polepiece screws around in my pickups. changing ones of identical size, but with different colour.

Is there a problem with that? I was thinking it might upset the waxpotting.

And would this affect the tone significantly, for example if the screw material was slightly different?

Thanks

We use a very specific material in our screws which we have made specifically for us so swapping to anything else will alter the tone.You'll have trouble sourcing Fillister no. 5 x 40 screws as they're now only used in guitar pickups, UK fasteners won't have them.
