Direct mount pickup screws

[taracatac]

I am building a customized 1570, and I need screws for the direct mount pickups. Anyone know what size I need?

i usually use pickups rings screws. they're slim enough to insert into pickups ears, long enough to set the pickups height pretty high and they've got enough thread to bite into the wood. hope my english is clear enough.

I make my own at lowes! I just get whatever phillips head screw that will fit, and shave some thread off around the top with my dremel cutting bit. That way the pickup height is perfectly adjustable. I install these with the springs of course. Thats worked well for me for many years, although it may be better to use woodscrews with a different bit of thread. I have to predrill my holes a bit to get my screws in there. Ive actually sharpened teh tips before too.

Thanks for the responses. I think I will go the Lowe's route.
