Hello, I just bought SCN pickup for replacement to my Strat..the problem is pickup screw doesn't fit into 'insert'. The screw insert small a bit and I wonder is there I can buy those 'insert'? And another thing where can I get pickups cover for this pickup. I don't like this colour. Thanks

I have a set of SCN's myself and they are frighteningly good pickups. My existing pickup screws worked fine, I suspect you may be trying to use a metric threaded screw on an imperial threaded insert (or vice versa). Obviously, do not try to force the wrong screw thread into the pickup!

Fender advised against dismantling SCN pickups, even to remove or replace the cover. The wire used for the windings is thinner than normal pickup wire and very delicate and is easily damaged.

I'm afraid you may have to live with non-matching pickups.

But the 'package' I got 3 more replacement covers and what is those for and all the mounting screws/insert matched others except 1 hole it seems small. Should I claim to Fender then :oops: because it annoying me and I can't install it yet.
