Members hrcnsfan Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have a couple of my guitars at work with me and switching around the neck pickups. I'm putting the Suhr humbucker that's in my tele into the Carvin and putting the P90 from the Carvin into the tele. Well, the bottom of the screws from the humbucker were hitting the bottom of the cavity in the Carvin. Instead of routing out wood I figured I could much more easily, and quickly, grind off the bottom of the screws...and so I did...and then I began to wonder... I can't try it out until I'm back home, but do you think I messed up the magnetic properties in the pickup from the grinding? I suhr hope not. (get it?.....suhr....? Haha!)

Members poolshark Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 Are we talking about height adjustment screws or polepieces? If the former, did you actually grind them while still connected to the pickup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members snowaie Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 It'll be fine I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rog951 Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 I think you're talking about the #3 height adjustment maching screws...the ones that screw into the little mounting tab "wings", right? If so, they don't do anything, you're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Orange Jackson Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 Sounds like you are talking about the actual pole piece screws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hrcnsfan Posted July 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 Yeah, the actual pole pieces. The heads are pretty much flush with the chrome cover and they extend out the bottom of the pickup. I lopped off about 1/4 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poolshark Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 HMM. Plug it in and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hrcnsfan Posted July 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 HMM. Plug it in and find out. I usually have my practice amp with me at work but forgot it today. Just wondering if I should be expecting the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Orange Jackson Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 My guess is that they will sound fine. That was a bit daring though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
