whoofnagle Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Okay, I am about to start the routing of my pickups. The guitar is a tele style with two single coil rio grande pu's. I have three questions that I want to clarify before the wood starts flying. 1. What is the correct/typical depth of these routes?- Yes, I have done my reading, ut I feel like I have seen some folks say 5/8 (like the neck) and I have also read 3/4. Is one better from the other? 2. The distance from the neck to the first pu? I believe Hiscock says 1/2" on one of his guitars, but he is using Hums. I think I also read it should be positioned at the 24 fret (if memory serves me right)? 3. The bridge pu. I assume this is more dictated by the laction of the tele bridge plate (with the saddles forward- to hit the 25.5 mark). Again, I thought I read this is typically around the 43 fret?

whoofnagle Posted October 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Well after reading through old posts (forgot to go back greater than 30 days). It seems as if the question of depth has been debated multiple times and the the answer has been between 3/8 and 3/4. I will go back and check the depth of my screws to better guage the route depth, but the positioning is still of interest. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
