Hey everybody, on the verge of putting in a rear routed strat body build and I'm curious if anybody has tried dropping non-EMGs into the oval EMG route. I prefer the aesthetic of the EMG route and my hope is to use a G&L S-500 MFD set (https://g-l-online-store.myshopify.com/collections/pickups/products/g-l-mfd-pickup-for-s-500) that are oval single coils rather than the standard vintage strat triangular shape.
I did a search and saw mention of a few options (SD 1/4lb, SSL 5, etc...) but am curious if anybody has actually installed any of those in the Warmoth EMG route and how it went.
FTR I called in and was told that the main issue would most likely be that the leads on EMGs (and thus the wire route) are on the opposite side from most others, but I don't think that's necessarily a dealbreaker...
