Hello there. Stop me if you've heard this one before. I asked this question elsewhere, 90 views 0 replies. I have a guitar on which the pickups are out of phase if I connect the shields to ground and the hot wires to where they're supposed to go. Now, if I open up one of the pickups...

I'll bet that once in a while somebody wonders whether Jazzmaster pickups, skinny as they are, are skinny enough to slide in under the strings without having to cut any holes. Does anyone know anything about this? Does anyone have a number for how skinny the pickups are? Thank you kindly. S
