Defiled Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 Will I be able to have a H/S/H setup with a 25" scale, 24 fret fingerboard ? I plan on using Carvin's through-body neck, and I cannot find the length of the fingerboard. I'm just not sure if there is a certain distance needed between each pickup. Quote
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 Your fretboard is about 19". HSH is very possible with this. I would direct mount the pickups, just to be sure. There is about 6" left to play with, depending on what bridge you use. The design will work fine. Quote
Defiled Posted March 14, 2004 Author Report Posted March 14, 2004 Thanks for the quick response, but what is direct mounting? Quote
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 Direct coupling is pressing the pickup int the wood. Direct mounting is screwing the pickups into the body. Both eliminate mounting rings. That was the object of my suggestion. Quote
Defiled Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Posted March 15, 2004 Can you point me to a site that deals with direct mounting? I've been looking around without much luck. Quote
Jehle Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 This actually gives me an idea to tweak how I've got my pickups mounted. Right now they are floating on foam and screwed into the body. It's works okay, but they tend to be just off angle. It would be nice to have them set flat and square. Time to break out the shims. Quote
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 Warmoth deals with it a little, and Erni Ball does it on Music Man guitars...Axix, and Pettrucci. Quote
