    dude get the pick guard off; Fender Strats have a pick guard that is wired with the pickups so its where everything is screwed on to. Just unscrew the pickguard and re-assemble the pickup that fell. Hop I helped, =]

    I just lowered the middle pickup on one of my old guitars almost all the way, and i dont plan to use it so it doesnt matter how it sounds (Just using the 2 humbuckers). so my question is: will this disturb the other pickups and/or something else?. Thanks.

    i unscrewed my pickup guard for cleaning purposes.. and i also unscrewed the pickup screw because i didn knew that much about the inside of a guitar ,.. so when i screwed the whole thing together again i was having different volume and sounds on the neck middle and the lower one .. i was adjusting the whole three pickups for eight hours . still ma middle pickup sounds more heavier than the neck. what should i do !

    my bridge pickup is kinda too high i think cause it gets in the way , i hit it with my pick sometimes, so I would wanna lowwer it so it doesn’t annoy me anymore. My question is should i also lowwer the other pickups to the same height to not mess up my sound?
