    Yeah I can order a 3pup body, but it's a 3-4month wait haha I want to start now 😜
    Still considering it though so I don't fudge up the body haha

    Shazz you could probably get DB to route the centre humbucker cavity before it's sent to you. Then you have the flame maple veneer and will be less waiting time !
    It's not that hard if you have a decent template, router and pattern following router bit.

    That's an idea! I guess I just need to know the spacing whether it's going to work or if I have to bite the bullet and be patient haha

    My FIL is a TAS teacher at a local school so I have access to a whole plathora of tools and things, so it should be doable

    Hey Shaz I can measure the distance between neck and bridge pup, I have a spare SG-1F body that is unfinished. Pretty sure it will fit but it's tight. The pup rings almost touch each other haha

    If I remember I will post tonight on this thread and put 3 pup rings over the body and photograph it
