    I can't really say about the others but I know that the 81 and 89 combination works great with my guitar (Fender Strat Ultra). The two pickups balance quite nicely due to the contrast in tones between them. Both activated sounds really good. The 89 isn't really coil tapped. It's actually three coils in one housing. A separate single coil and humbucker. It's the only pickup of its kind I know of and it sounds great.

    Well it's not exactly a small amount of wood. It's the entire trem cavity and possibly much of the swimming pool pickup rout. It's actually a fairly substantial amount of wood and all in the direct vicinity of the strings and pickups.

    File under: voodoo You'll probably get a different tone just from using a different bridge though. ← So you're saying that wood choice has no effect on tone, resonance or sustain? Maybe I could throw maple in there and increase sustain due to the increased density? I'm sure I sound naive but oh well.

    I just thought I could get a different tonal flavor by having three woods (maple top and back, alder body and mahogany fill) on the same guitar. I was just kind of wondering if anybody'd ever done it.

    I will be filling the tremolo route for my Strat Ultra and installing a Kahler 2315 tremolo in place of the Fender American Deluxe Locking tremolo. I have measured it and the Kahler will completely cover the existing front route but I want to fill the large void left over from the original trem. I also want to partially fill the swimming pool route in my body as I have the guitar set up like I want it. Does anybody know a good wood for doing this? Should I use mahogany to kind of fatten up the sound over the standard alder/maple/ebony construction? It seemed like a good idea. A chunk of mahogany right under the bridge can't hurt right? Let me know what you guys think.

    By the way the 1.68 inches was the minimum, not the maximum for the body blanks.

    I think Carvin has come about as close to this as anybody. Their free DVD shows one of their California Carve Top's being cut, sanded, routed, edged, carved, etc by a CNC machine. Even the screws holes for the cavity covers.
