Just got my conversion scale neck installed (feels great).
On thing I needed was to go from a 1 11/16 to a 1 5/8 nut.
Compounding things...I have a Lonestar strat.
There is a fitment issue with lonestars as stated on Warmoth disclamer.
It's actually just a clearance issue with the pick guard (overhang hits it).
I had to install an aftermarket thin pickguard to make things work (this slightly moved the pickup a tad...see pic).
So the issue.....
I assume going from the 1 11/16 to the 1 5/8 nut has caused the pole on the high E to be far enough off from the centerline to create a noise loss (especially when bending).
Any ideas for a fix?
I cant really go to a wider bridge spacing because of bridge pickup pole spacing.
I would assume a different neck pickup?
Can somebody recommend a good neck pickup that pole spacing wont be so much of an issue?
Lastly...it "seems" like the stings on the high E are over further than the low E but maybe I just don't understand
proper string spacing.
This was a Warmoth installed nut...Is this correct string placement?
