![]() ![]() Some of them have dual mounting holes, the back plate will have both regular three hole G-mounting, and standard humbucking spaced holes, but if you want to use the humbucker holes, you’ll have to open up the pup opening in the Oscar, it’s a tight ordeal, because you don’t want a straight route the shape of the plate on the guitars top. This guitar sounds golden (but is a boat anchor), which is why I also installed a upper horn strap peg (reinforced inside with a 1” dowel Rod). I did add a small rectangle of black foam under each pickup to keep them from rocking, it also keeps it level in the mount. This is what I did on my Epi Dot Studio, which out Gretsch’d a Gretsch for me last year. This will allow you to return the guitar to stock with just a trim ring/pickup change, and no drilling. You can cut off the corners of the G-mount with a coping saw so the plate will fit inside a standard HB opening (again, evenly on both sides), it will require you use a utility knife/razor blade/plastic deburring tool to open up the existing HB trim ring to work (or if you have spares in your parts bin). If the plate is drilled for humbucker mount, and you know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you will never use these in a traditional G-mount again. You will have to fill/redrill the pup ring holes on the Oscar top, to center them properly. If you go HB ring, and are looking for them online, make sure you measure the thickness of your existing rings on the Oscar (which are likely thicker than the G ones). If you’re going to put the whole assembly (original trim ring, and all), just route accordingly (making sure to center the pup, and not just trim one side, or your mistake will look mighty obvious). If you don’t do that, you’ll end up with a bigger opening in the top than even a G-sized humbucker ring will *edit* not *edit* hide. you want just enough clearance to get the plate under the lip of the top, and then dig out the block inside to allow adjustment. ![]() Publishers use these marks when books are returned to them.Those are Blacktop Filtertrons, and are some darned good sounding ceramic pickups. Remainder Mark - A remainder mark is usually a small black line or dot written with a felt tip pen or Sharpie on the top, bottom, side page edges and sometimes on the UPC symbol on the back of the book.If excessively worn, they will be marked as "tray worn."
