Rickenbacker Hole for Hollowbodies? And TV Jones Filtertron Pickup Routings!

[LeeSympathetic]

The site is hot, and I LOVE the choices you could get...
I am a bit picky though, and I would LOVE to see this shape of hole in a thinline body..:

Not the body shape, but the Hole shape.
You see these holes in many Rickenbacker guitars.
To me, I think it would look more appealing...

AND

also would want Warmoth to start offering pickup routing for TV Jones Filtertrons!!  :tard:...

Anyone agree?

I agree about the pickup routing, the humbucker-sized TV Jones pickups are downright ugly.

Rickenbacker are VERY protective about anyone copying their designs, and more power to them.

+1.

Also the TV Jones pickups stand pretty tall, I have read past comments on other forums where people installing TV Jones pickups as replacements in solid body guitars like a Fender Tele, had to go deeper than usual when routing the humbucker cavity.

IF the scimitar shaped sound hole is not copyright protected by Rickenbacker or anyone else, it would be a nice option on some bodies that can be hollowed.
