Electric Delta 3-pole Pickup
Hi
Working on my 3rd build. On my first I used this pickup from CB Gitty. Really liked the results so I am using another in this build. My question is, what the heck are the 2 springs included in the hardware bag for? I just didn't bother with them on the 1st CBG, do I want to use them on this build?

I believe they are for the screws that hold the pickup in place. they are used for tension adjustment of the height of the pickup

I see, this is mounting the pickup to the lid rather than to the neck. I think I like that idea. Might just give it a try on this build. Thanks!

If mounting to the neck, the spring will go under the pickup tab instead of on top. Mounting to the neck is actually stronger, structurally?

Oh, i see.... That's a good idea to use them as the mounting spring.

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
