Can somebody with an unbuilt telecaster body (warmoth) tell me the depth of the control route?

Many thanks.  There is a vision in my head that might take shape if it all works out.

1 1/2 inch or 37 mm on the one I have sitting here.

Edit: Should have specified, that's a top-routed body.

Me too. In my brain, I'm seeing a rear-routed, hollow, Black Korina Esquire, finished in Transparent Red, with double black binding.

Sorry, but I've been on a one-pickup-per-guitar tear the last two years for some unknown reason.

RLW - No need to apologize for the one pickup thing.

CB - What do you have in mind?

I've been really itching to do a one-pickup build, with just a neck humbucker.... Jazz style in a non jazz guitar

How about one of these instead of a humbucker?

I have stayed upon many a late night candle's vigil, over the technical meanderings borne of a mind so twisted, as to conceive a device wretched, for nothing less than unfathomable contempt can be its mate, not through despicable ardour, but through pure evil and malice and darkness.

I have seen in bleak vision, two horns projecting devilishly upward from a thin wooden structure, whose pate is rounded, not sharply creased.  I have seen this in horrible detail in my minds eye - with orders from below to construct it in every detail and manner.  This shall be accomplished in solitary fashion, amid the amassed and varied paraphernalia of a madman, late upon the near dawn's waking, secretly, and with the sobriety of torment leading to a near certain death.

When the sheet is lifted.  You will know.

you could have easily said  "Oh, an SG"  although that was a description so fiendish that it would make Frankenstein's monster jealous.

You need to look to it sometimes to see the beauty in it... (never will be like Angelina Jolie, but Ok, sometimes a "6 grade" girl can shake as good that make our brain melt!)

No lad, not an SG... not just an SG...

SG's aplenty I have.  But this shall be the creation of a modern Prometheus, unwoldly, ungodly, and wretched in every form and measure.

I make it a point to never look at shaking 6th grade girls, unless they're from Arkansas and been left back seven times.
