How do you mount Humbuckers with out Rings

[Tone2TheBone]

You can screw the pup into the pickup body cavity with wood screws like you do a Tele pickup. Which guitar is the humbucker going in?

Yeah, but you're going to need to figure out a way to make them height-adjustable, because the screw tabs on a 'bucker are mounted way down at the bottom, rather than up high like a Strat or tele p'up. With those, you just need to have a spring or rubber tubing compressible spacer. With a humbucker, when you adjust the height, you're actually moving it relative to the mounting ring, not the guitar body per se.

I know but I was assuming that the pickup would be close enough to the strings as an approximation when screwed into the body. I'm not familiar with an EBMM body what is that? The only humbuckers I've seen without rings are like on some SGs.
