Some have the neck pickup mounted in the pickguard and some have it bounted in the body.
Are some pickups made to mount only onr way?
Can you mount all pickups either way?
And now for the real debate
Which way is better?
Thanks

I think most pickups can be mounted either way... it's just a matter of what you're attaching to... be it the pick-guard from the top, or with wood screws to the body...
Which way is better really depends on your ears... some will swear that attaching the pickup directly to the wood makes a difference... perhaps yes, perhaps no... You'll probably lose the ability to adjust height with a body mount unless you have some sort of spring rig working underneath, but then you're probably not connected directly to the wood anymore.
