Messages 23, Actually, they sort of "rock" on the adjustment screw, not the whole pup go in and out. They'll wobble a little. If you want them tighter, maybe stretch out the spring holding them a bit. Johnnytone Silver Supporting Member.
Messages 2, Mike Hill Member. If they move around a little when you push on them, that's normal. If they move around by themselves, that's not normal. Johnnytone said:. Do the pickups have covers or are the coils exposed?
Mike Hill said:. Messages 6, Get some longer springs on the pickup screws to create more tension. Epoxy a couple of the nylon-insert lock nuts on the bottom of the tabs. Have to use something larger than the thread on the screw, but the insert would probably grab the screw thread anyway.
I actually think somebody makes just the plastic lock nuts now for self-tapping threads, but I have no idea how you could get those to stay on the tabs - I'm sure they're made of some kind of very slick material.
No, but I've never owned a guiar where the input jack would stay in place. I have this happening to a single coil on an old Ibanez Roadstar. Next time I change the strings, I'm going to fix it:. I'm sure there are other ways to do the repair, but this is the best I can think of. If the screw hole in the pickup is simply worn out you need to find a u-clip that will work with the pickup screw.
Here's a website to give you an idea of what to look for. You could try making up 'springs' from surgical silicone rubber tubing like vintage Strats and Teles use. That will bind on the screw and top it turning so easily. Obviously if the thread of so badly worn that the shaft of the screw is slipping through then it won't help. If the threads are stripped on the tab, I'd find a nut at the hardware store that fits the height adjustment screw.
You will have to epoxy the nut to the tab unless you don't mind adjusting the height while the pickup is off. Agree with the silicon tubing - that was my first thought also - if the threads in the tabs are still usable. Hobby shop should have model airplane fuel line in 2 or 3 sizes that would work for this. However, it depends on how much they flop around.
Just get your hands on a screwdriver and adjust either the screws on the outside of the pick-ups, or swap out the springs. Piano and guitar are the most popular instruments that people tend to want to learn. Jamming by yourself on the guitar is probably one of the most fun things that you can do as a guitar player and as a musician.
Admittedly, it's not as fun as playing along with other people, but it's Humbuckers are basically two coil pick-ups fastened together in sets of two.
Is it normal? The guitar still plays well of course, but it is annoying me. Don't worry its normal They all do that. The pick up is secured just by the two spring loaded hight adjustment screws so they will move around if you prod them with your finger I thought it was odd myself when I got my first LP but thats just the way they are No worries I suppose i am a newbie, although i'm sure i joined this Gibson Forum in the early 00s, just before i bought my SG.
You're right, it is special. Gibson Acoustic. Start new topic.
