Hello!
I received my Strat body with mahogany core wood and roasted swamp ash laminate several months ago but due to so much going on I haven't been able to do anything except get some of the parts together for now. The body has rear control cavity, 720 mod, 7/8 (I think) edge drilled output hole, No forearm contour, sprayed clear.
- This is where a few questions came up.
(1.) This axe is going to be a hard tail and I went with a Fender American Standard Flat Mount bridge. I was hoping the low height metal pickup rings would work out with this bridge? It says the metal pickup rings I got are 1/16" and then I saw where it mentioned using a black plastic short pickup ring with a metal chrome ring stacked on top looks BOSS. Maybe I will get a couple thin plastic pickup rings and check it out unless someone has that same bridge and can tell me what height rings will work?
(2.) I went with a Seymour Duncan JB pickup in the bridge and a 59 Jazz in the neck position. Since the string spacing is 2.08 in the Fender American Standard Flat Mount Bridge should I go with a JB Trembucker or JB Humbucker in the bridge position? (to get the proper string spacing over the pickup poles?)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me !
