That's something I might have to do with the pickup routes on the Gold Strat body, I've got all three pickups lowered as far as they can go, but they end up bottoming-out , the pickups are three Entwistle ASN57 Noiseless Single-Coil pickups, these are a bit bigger than standard Single-Coils because of the extra hum-cancelling Coil which is positioned right underneath the main coil where the magnet normally is, the result is that the body route needs to be a bit deeper to accommodate the pickup with it's extra hum-cancelling coil, I am sorely tempted to deepen the body routes a bit with a hammer and wood-chisel.
