Pickup Shim for 49.2, 50mm, and 52mm Humbucker

Description

This plastic pickup shim is designed for 49.2mm, 50mm and 52mm standard-spaced humbucker pickups and is used to fine-tune pickup height and alignment during installation.

Shims provide a clean, repeatable way to achieve proper pickup positioning without over-compressing mounting springs or rubber tubing. They are especially useful in shallow pickup cavities, custom builds, rewinds, and OEM assemblies, where precise height control is required.

Made from durable plastic, this shim maintains its shape over time and does not absorb moisture, making it a reliable solution for both new builds and long-term installations.
