Thanks.

Low E side from back of pocket to center of first is 5/16" from back of pocket to center of second is 2-3/8"

High E Side from back of pocket to center of first is 5/16" from back of pocket to center of second is 1-17/32"

Low E from edge of pocket to center of bridge side first hole is 7/16" and from Low E side to the second center on the bridge side it is 1-13/16"

Low E side to center of headstock side hole is 7/16" and from Low E side to center of second hole on headstock side is 1-5/8" (this is the offset hole).

those are the measurements brian gave me for the screw holes, he also sent me the measurements for the actuall all acces pocket, but i deleted that one maybe he'll post the pics here again though

oh ya, and steve has some other measurements in metric here, but still no actual profile of the curve unless u do it by eye

I was in need of this very same information a while ago. I didn't get any responses that lead me to a definitive answer. If you look at most of the strat designs available on the web / books, you'll see that the pocket depth for these is 5/8". I posted a question a while ago because I measured my RG and it looked like it was closer to 3/4" (without taking the neck off). Some people thought that was too deep so I looked at the jemsite blueprint and confirmed (at least against a JEM model) that 3/4" was pretty close. The pocket in the blueprint does show a slight angle but I don't know if this is the same for the RG's (sorry).

To sum it up, all I have found in my searching on this subject is the JEM pocket dimensions. I guess I will have to take my RG apart to find out what it really looks like. I know it's not much, but I hope this helped.
