Right, so after I've got enough confidence, I decide to take the chrome plate off the neck pickup on my guitar. I asked around this site a bit and some people said that is was removable. So I take all the strings off, the pickgaurd, and notice I got enough room in there for a humbucker!!So I think everythings going good. So I put the pickup back in, the pickgaurd on, and all the strings except the last one. (Figures). So I turn the axe upside down to feed the string through the body, when I suddenly realize the pickup falling out of the groove. So, I tighten the screws up, but the pickup is right on my strings. Then I notice 2 little rubber stoppers, lying on the floor......That;s right, take everything back off again, put the little rubber things back inbetween the pickgaurd and pickup. Now everything's fine...but heres the ironic part (maybe its just bad luck) I never got the chrome part off the pickup because its got clips on the bottom tat are glued on. Yep that was my night....
