ESDictor Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I guess I was hoping it was more of a standard thing. I figured if I got all "replacement" parts it would be a simple measurement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESDictor Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Standard Fender routs are 5/8 inch for the neck and the pickups on most models Thank you very much for that information Mr Hiscock. I have owned your book for about 11-12 years and it was a primary inspiration in my doing this project. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripthorn Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 For the control cavity, 1.5" is a typical depth on most fender models. You can go shallower if your parts allow for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
