    Hi everyone. I've lurked here for a while but I don't often post. I have a question I just can't seem to find an answer for. I'm building my first guitar and I've come to the point when I need to route out the cavity for my pickup. The only pickup I am using is a Seymour Duncan Duncan Custom Humbucker pickup in the bridge position. I'm not sure how deep I need to route the pocket though. I'm using this website for the other dimensions. My understanding is that there is no specific depth because I can adjust the height of the pickup by adjusting the two screws anchoring it. If I am mistaken please let me know. I am really in need of some expert advice. Thanks!

    Thanks! So does this mean I should drill 6 holes into the body for the strings to go into once they pass through the bridge? Or do I need only to screw it onto the body and thread the strings through it?

    Hi. I am currently building my first guitar and was directed to this forum by a friend. I bought a fixed hard tail bridge online (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=220403195180) and I am trying to figure out what the installation will involve. Will the strings anchor in the bridge, meaning all I will need is to bolt the bridge to the body? OR Will I need to do a string-through body design with string ferrules? Aka will the strings go THROUGH the bridge, through the body, and anchor in ferrules at the back? OR DO I need to drill 6 holes that do NOT go all the way through the body for the strings under the bridge, meaning the strings will go through the bridge and come to rest in holes in the body but not come out the other end? Thanks in advance, I'll post updates to how it goes!
