To accurately install pickups, you'll need either tubing sections (preferred) or the appropriate size springs, one or the other.
Maybe a quarter of an inch or less. They're stock tubing pickup spacers from the Fender brand.
It's pretty much the same, in my opinion. I used those tubes because Fender uses them on my guitar, so the mounting system remained the same.
Selected User Reviews For Fender Pickup Mounting Tubing for Electric Guitar
It may be difficult to believe, but these tiny rubber tube pickup "springs" will significantly improve your tone. In fact, my playing has improved, and I now resemble SRV a little more. These rubber pickup mounting tubes are identical to the originals in terms of appearance, smell, sound, and flavor. Exactly how Leo Fender envisioned it. Don't settle for generic rubber tubing, which was probably cut from the same spool of tubing as the brand-name versions. Make certain you get ones that have been blessed by a Fender warehouse employee who was packing them into 12-packs. tally up the number of plastic bags br>Aside from that, they do exactly what they're supposed to do. They provide enough tension to keep your pickups evenly spaced and rattling-free. I'm not aware of any other reviews in which the length of tubing has been questioned. They're perfect in my 1991 strat plus deluxe with SSS setup. The pickup is held in place by proper compression and tension. br>Good people, keep rocking.
PS. Why does this item have "sheerness" as a default rating scale?.
These do the job well, but they are quite expensive. For a total of 12 small rubber pieces. I began using aquarium tubing that I cut myself. It's a lot less expensive and does the same job.
br>br>What makes these worth the cost is that they are all the same size. br>br>The ability to hold the screw to the pickguard and install the pickup is so much better than needing three hands to hold all the components when using a spring. br>br>I'm sure they'll wear out over time, but even a spring will eventually wear out.
These srings for tubes are a rip-off. Don't be fooled by the Fender name; most pickups, including Fenders, are useless in most applications. br>br>All of them are about 5/32" in length. Even the vintage was a tad on the small side, such as 5/16. Even if you doule them, they will fail because they will become entangled and will not compress. br>br>Save money by purchasing spring tubing by the foot from a reputable guitar parts retailer. After that, you can cut to length and dial in the ideal length/compression for your applicationbr>br>-.
even when kept in a humidified and temperature-controlled environment I put these in with an upgrade to pickups on a Vintage 1986 MIJ Stratocaster ten years ago, keeping in mind that my vintage guitars are humidity and temperature regulated and stay in their cases with little or no play. I couldn't adjust the pickups after ten years, so I removed the pick guard and discovered that they had deteriorated and crumbled as if they had been exposed to the sun for three years. So I went out and bought both stainless steel coil springs and these to see if they had changed materials or if they were still made of the same type of material.
I prefer these to the metal springs that were previously used to adjust the pickup height.
I discovered that cutting off the small end of a mounting spring and inserting one of these tubes inside makes for a very stable and easy-to-use pick-up mounter. It isn't slid around all over the place.
I know it seems silly to spend good money on what is essentially plastic tubing cut into smaller pieces, but these were a perfect replacement for the mounting tubes in my American Standard Strat and Strat Plus guitars from the early 1990s. There is no fiddling, cutting, or additional work required, and all of the pickups are perfectly level as they should be!.
