every TL kit I've seen Stan have had the same oversized neck pup cavity so I'd say it's a bad design.Originally Posted by stan
I even noticed on my 4D mate Wayne is building a SG-2. Its a bolt on neck and a larger pickguard than a SG-1 or SG-1F.
That has the same oversized neck pup cavity so you have to use the pickguard

Will reducing the size of the routed out area make it more difficult for "less tooled up" purchasers to complete a standard build?
If you are using a single coil in the neck it will make no difference.

Hey Rabbitz, if the factory changed to a single pup route then it would have to be large enough to give the single pup on a pickguard a bit of movement but small enough for a single pup ring to cover the hole.
Of course it would have to work for both options without any mods to the cavity required

Why would anyone desecrate a Tele with a humbucker.....

Yeah! Cut the Pickguard shape myself. TV Jones Pups and....Oops! Sorry about the thread jack!
Single coil route (option 3 ) makes most sense. After all we are supposed to be builders and whats a little routing, bloody fingers, and routing bits landing on neighbors rooftops to worry about!
