BUGGER. Messing about checking bridge and bridge pickup placement. The through body holes for the strings and the routed slot for pickup match up perfectly with the bridge plate, but on measuring 12th fret to bridge I find the distance is 10 -12 mils too long. There is not enough available adjustment on the bridge so need to move 12th fret towards the body.
Options, rout a piece out of the back of the neck to move it forward in the slot, or rout out between the slot and the neck pickup slot?
Anybody else experienced this type of issue and/or any other remedies I may have overlooked?
