    Pearly Gates bridge in neck?

    I could be mistaken but if memory serves, it used a bit of a closet classic among many of the "older" members on here in the past.

    Your favorite modded pickup?

    I much prefer the JB with an A4, and the 59 with an A3 to the stock set. I'm not a big fan of the 59 from my experience with it though so while it's a big improvement it's not my ideal neck pickup.

    Saddle alignment on a tele

    The screw that Jeremy mentioned looks to push all six saddles out of alignment. It should be completely flush.

    Strat body shape gets protection in Germany and EU

    They did come to mind alright. Apart from them there are lots of smaller operations that will be worried as a result. It's also going to be interesting regarding kit and diy guitars. ..and I'm curious to know if fmic will try and try and take advantage by robbing improvements made to the...
