    strat pickup in a humbucker cover

    I have a guitar routed for 2 HBs. I want to put a strat neck and strat bridge pickup (actually a duncan twangbanger) in the HB routes. Can I stick the strat pickups straight on humbucker covers and mount them? Would the poles line up with the holes in the hb covers? Also I hear there could be...

    warmoth 7/8 strat compatible necks

    Hey all, the warmoth site says that the 7/8 body is designed for 24 3/4 warmoth warhead neck. But also says that jaguar/mustang necks are compatible with the body. How does that work? And any idea if the body will work with a 24 3/4 neck like toronado or cyclone? Appreciate the insights.

    3 mms extension on swimming pool route

    ok, thanks for the insights. i want a guitar with jm pickups or a jp pickup paired with a wide range humbucker. no point going for a p90 or hb size as it might defeat the purpose. i will have to check for a local tech. thanks again.

    3 mms extension on swimming pool route

    other than jazzmaster bodies i am finding it very difficult to find a body which will host jazzmaster pickups - primarily due to the size of the jm pickup. then after some research i find that the swimming pool/universal route might just hit the ballpark - though short by 3 millimeters...
