The pickup is screwed directly to the top and, given the mounting location and screw spacing, it's entirely possible -
even probable - that it's positioned directly over (if not in fact screwed into
) the top braces, depending of course on top thickness and screw length; as I said the old-timers would have known this, and there's a very good reason this pickup (as well as a similar DeArmond model with a differently-shaped control box) was a total flop on the market...
