To cut the pickup surround IMHO would look very bad when job finished.
To slot the pickup cavity slightly as shown in my previous reply isn't a huge issue, I took my time and cut away at it with a Dremel. If you don't have one they are cheap and always come in handy for lots of unrelated jobs about the place.
Yeah i agree. I'm pretty comfortable with woodworking and have a good range of tools, so whether, I dremel, rout or chisel, it shouldn't be too much of an issue, especially with an easy timber like basswood. Chances are at some point down the line I'll put better pickups in it, which may require some extra routing anyway.

I might just hold off on doing anything until I can get some confirmation from one of the pitbull guys that I'm doing things right.
