Pickup Coil
Posted July 4, 2010

How do I put together a single coil pickup back on a guitar?
A string got stuck in the bridge, and so i took it apart, but the coils fell out when i unscrewed the thing and i dont know how to put them back together.
First, you might try giving the year and manufacturer of the guitar...
Second, If the string got stuck in the bridge, why are you messing with the pickups?
Third, Why would you take a pickup apart when it has nothing to do with the bridge?
On almost every guitar I've ever seen the bridge is mounted to the tailpiece of the guitar and has nothing to do with the pickups that are mounted in the body. The strings are fed through either the backside of the bridge or the bottom of the bridge through the guitar body.
Now if a string got stuck in the bridge, why did you not simply release the tension on the string by it's key and "un-stick" the string???
