Tar Backs?

You have to repair the pickup. No one is going to be looking at the bottom when it's in a guitar. Are you putting on a baseplate? Just glue it on with 5 minute epoxy. Or are you putting on one of those bars that has the mounting holes?

I'm installing the original bar style baseplate.

Get some epoxy, and you can color it black if needed with some lamp black.

I recently got some black hot melt glue sticks. It looks a lot like epoxy when it's cooled. Its pretty strong too.
