fyb Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 The guitar I'm working on is chambered sapele with a spruce top. Do you think it'd be a good idea to make the PU routes really deep too, essentially adding more chambers? I'm using humbuckers and mounting rings so attaching the pups won't be a problem. Will the extra depth have feedback issues? Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Depends what you want to do; I doubt it'll make a huge difference if you're suspending the pickups from rings anyway. If you were thinking of direct mounting the pickups, that's a different story. I will say that the pickups I've put in gutiars with full chambering (floating pickup) feed back more on the bridge than by the neck, where the pickup's more isolated. Personally, I think this is because the top by the bridge is more free to vibrate than it is close to the neck. If you're doing it for weight gain, I wouldn't bother.

WezV Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 yeah, if its a weight issue it really wont make much difference. Good quality, wax potted pickups should be ok hanging over a deeper route though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
