Nocaster bridge pup and a Duncan Seth L in the neck.

Oh like this

If no visible route for neck pup wiring routing, I vote no Pickguard. Or a std pearloid.

Mastery for the win

Grab them. Have them in a guitar I just acquired. Different from Nocasters. And Fender never sold them separately. As compared to Nocasters, with clean they are twangier, with dirt more rocking. Basically from what I’ve researched, the neck pup uses an A5 rather than an A3. The budge is...

Stretch out the spring or get longer tubing. You're losing tension.

is it wood mounted or body mounted? 1/8 is sitting pretty high.

Is your neck pup wood mounted or Pickguard suspended?

Intonation is a compromise. Sharp is how it will go with stratitis. We want that neck pickup also decked to the Pickguard. As a starting point I run my neck pup 1/32 off the deck on the E side, 2/32 on the e side. By chance are using using stacked coil pups?

For nut slot, capo fret one. You want the strings to just high enough that they ring out (IE high enough to clear fret 2). As a rule of thumb, the Ws nuts are often not slotted deep enough. But that is largely no harm no foul. Order to address: 1. LOWER all the pups so they are barely above...

Oh and the measurement is at fret 12.

I. Caliper guage 2. Yes something that has an absolute even straight edge. 3. Getit 4. Yes lower the pups. As an example (and I have Fralins in this guitar I am thinking of), the pups barely extend up past the Pickguard. Lowerer them all to just above the pickguard. The capos are to make...

Stop where you are at. Do you have 2 capos (1 can work but 2 is better), a true straight edge (if not get one), and an either a micrometer or feeler gauges (you can get a feeler gauge from an auto parts store). You can do this, these basic tools are needed though. All this will cost less than...

Try a different set. Strings can (I’d say 2-3%of the time) be dead out of the package. First check the nut. Then set neck relief. Now set intonation while the guitar is in a playing position. Now report back how things are. Also if you are using single coils, lower them. You may be...

Oh you can get those lugs at a number of places. Google soldering lugs.
