papaya Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 There are threaded bushings in the body so metric screws are used to fix the preamp cavity cover. The same method used for the pickups with black socket head screws, check it out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
