Close! I was afraid that the joke might be too US-centric. Carnegie Hall is the most famous concert hall in the US... The joke is that a couple of tourists in New York have tickets to a concert and are trying to find Carnegie Hall. They see a guy in a tux carrying a violin case and figure he's heading there, so they ask "Do you know how to get to Carnegie Hall." He responds "Practice, practice, practice!"Originally Posted by Trevor Davies
Or… yes, but I wouldn’t start from here …is probably more like our version.

I love this one. I have always thought my Grandfather was Irish, but this sounds so much like him, I am wondering if he might have been Australian.
Reminds me of what they say in in New England when you ask for directions. "Well, you can't get there from here."
The pickguard I have is not drilled for screws, so I can mount the neck pickup to either the body or the pickguard. I was initially thinking I'd mount to the pickguard, but increasingly I am liking the idea of the traditional mount-to-the-body approach. That is, if I can figure out how to mark where the screw holes in go so that they line up properly with the pickguard. Anyone have a good idea for how to do that?
If you mount the neck pup to the body, will it be easy to adjust the height without taking off the guard?
Otherwise, I would use a big blob of Blutac to hold the pup in place!

The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
I had never heard of Blutac, but that looks like it will do the trick. Thanks!
I'll have to take off the pick guard to adjust the pup height. So that's the disadvantage. The advantage (if I understand correctly) is that the guitar will be playable with the pickguard off.
On my other guitar with Tele pups that are in a Strat body the neck pickup is mounted to the pickguard. The problem I had with it when I was doing the initial setup is I stripped one of the holes in the fiber bobbin. I "fixed" that by getting the next larger size adjustment screw. It hasn't been a problem since, but I figured I could avoid the problem altogether by mounting to the body.
