These are A REAL PITA to hunt down but persistence pays off! :)

I ordered mine direct but some time ago gave them a heads up to list their wares on Reverb which they did.

Yeah they come from China and you gotta wait 10-14 days or so to get them but they're worth the wait.

I'm starting a "Mod" project and finding these were holding me up.

EY have so many cool things, wish I had seen those to get the $8 shipping discount. I have a set of minis I want to use in place of p90s to have something different.

I just ordered a faux Widerange neck pup Eric Custom branded and a lefty Mustang control plate to use a regular Mustang style pickguard.

I'm going make a '72 style Tele Custom out of a Douglas traditional tele body that I got from a box of bodies and never used. I will pair the fake Widerange with the little 59 tele bridge I think, or maybe I'll put that in my Agile tele and use the regular tele bridge pup in there.

Going to finish my HB Stang pickguard swap and rewire with 3 way switches finally.

I just looked at their Reverb listings. I only got three pages in, so far.
They have quite an interesting selection.

Um, the place many of us love to hate, StewMac, has the mini mounting parts. However, their kit has more than doubled since I bought a pair for my AL-3010SE guitar. Also, anyone that's planning this on a similar Agile or single cut guitar, be ready to do some routing. The pickup routs in my AL needed to be deepened and clearance for the pickup leads needed to be made. Needless to say, I had to treat the whole operation like brain surgery with the guitar top taped off very heavily to prevent damage.
But yeah, if you can get the kits for under $25 USD shipped, that's a better bargain than StewMac. All that's really odd is the 3-48 screws and nuts, the rest of the kit could be made by hand with a Dremel or hack saw, a 3-48 tap and a hand drill. That aluminum bar is a hardware store item, by the way. Done that way, you could get a proper, custom fit and maybe not have to go router city like I did.

Theses are available on eBay and work fine.

Well, that is an interesting way to achieve success! I would guess you just screw them all the way down, then so the pickup height screws do the adjusting.

Novel!
