What years came with the two adjustment screws on one end and one screw on the other end. Or I guess a better question is what years dont have 3 screws... Is it just the modern pickups with only two screws? or just the minis? Confused!

The Guild mini humbuckers in the 60ies and the new Korean made copies have only two screws. The full size HB-1 starting in the 70ies have 3 mounting screws.
