Not to say that this is the "Best" approach, or that it's right for everyone/thing. Whew, disclaimer over! smile.gif This is a really good article on direct mounting your pickups (straight in to the wood instead of using a mounting system/pick guard approach)
I'm partial to this method but that's just me. I'm sure some folks would find it doesn't work for them for whatever reason.

As I read this I noticed the same tone improvements vs guitars I've played that were not direct mounted. I play a lot of fairly high gain/loads of picking stuff which works well with direct mounting. Both of my Ibanez as well as my Fretlight are direct mounted.
