Humbucker 50mm Mountplate with Screws

Description

Traditionally:
Original humbuckers used nickel silver mounting brackets, chosen for their low conductivity and non-ferromagnetic properties. This minimized eddy currents and avoided magnetic interference, allowing the pickup to retain top-end detail, openness, and dynamic sensitivity.

Modern / Cheaper Alternatives:
Many modern brackets are stamped from brass or mild steel.

• Brass brackets increase eddy current losses, resulting in rolled-off highs and a flatter resonant peak.

• Steel brackets can interact magnetically with the pickup’s field, subtly affecting string-to-string clarity and attack.

Takeaway:
Mounting brackets are part of the pickup’s electromagnetic environment—material choice matters for tonal transparency.

This 50mm humbucker mounting plate set is designed for standard-spaced humbucker pickups, providing a secure and consistent mounting solution for new builds, rewinds, and replacements.

The mounting plates are sized for 50mm pole spacing, commonly used for neck and bridge humbuckers in many guitars that do not require wide (F-spaced / 52mm) hardware. Included mounting screws allow for clean, reliable installation without sourcing additional hardware.

These plates are well suited for boutique pickup builders, repair shops, and OEM-style production, offering consistent dimensions and dependable fit across standard humbucker applications.
