I have a set of reissue Fender pickups that are threaded for metric screws, what can I do to make them work on a pickguard I m putting together?
There are two things you could do. I would try to find the original metric screws used for the pickup height adjustment or you could tap the metric height adjust holes for National Course American Threads. Fender pickups made in the USA are normally threaded 6/32. The (6) is the diameter of the screw and (32) is the threads per inch. You need to drill a hole before you can tap it. Below is a standard chart for screws and taps used in guitar pickup construction. The tap size is the same as the thread in a screw.
