7/8th P90 Plank of Possibility

[Hodgo]

That bridge pickup is gonna have a lil extra bite!

 

[rockandroller]

Yes, and I reverse-slanted it to give the higher strings a touch more volume and fatness.
It's going to be running a couple of Kinman's "P90-in-a-strat-package' variants...

Nice idea. It is giving me some inspiration.

The plastic pickguard is advantage as it not difficult to create a second- cut revision if needed.

Still, will have to TRIM about 5mm out of the pickguard to fit the bridge in...

But that still leaves a couple mm of pickguard behind the pickup!
Should look something like this:

Anyway, body, pickguard, and a set of 'contoured heel' screws will be on the way soon. Then I will find out how close my guesses really are! Will this be the canary neck vehicle of my dreams???

I assume you are not intending to use the poplar body shown, as the Schaller mounting screws would not have very far to go before screwing into a trem cavity.

I totally love the empty trem cavity ( weight reduction!). A little hardwood block glued inside can secure protruding bridge mounting screws.

As much as i like a rear-cavity 'no pickguard' for fancy wood tops, my lazy side really enjoys slapping pickups into a pickguard, no fussing with direct mounting to the body...

Awesome mock-up, that will be killer. Is the neck above Canary ?

Yes, Canary with Canary fretboard. This canary was singing an irresistible siren song on the ScreaminDeals page

I'm going to burnish it as it feels a hint rougher than my previous roasted maple 7/8 neck (which was apparently burnished at the factory as it's super-smooth...)
