Need Help With Jackson Soloist Pickup Route Size"

[redvette]

I'm changing a Jackson Soloist pickup configuration from H/H to S/S/H, and I'm in the process of having a custom single pickup route template made. They need the width and height, so they can scale the picture I sent them. Its this style single pickup:



If some kind soul on this forum could give me the width across and the height at the middle, I would greatly appreciate it!

Would this work? It seems similar to what is shown in the pic.

Thanks for replying! That's the size of the actual pickup, not the size of the route needed to fit that pickup in.

The covered 'Jackson' humbuckers from the mid/late 80s and early 90s are oversize, otherwise those templates are probably the best bet.

The pickups in the picture are SDs, so thought that would work.

Eh.... HH to HSS?

On a veneer or possibly even fotoflame? Forget that, you need a pickguard or it'll look like sh!t


Hmm wait no, that cant be your guitar can it, if it's the desired "after" pic. Still.... easiest way is to route a swimming pool and put a pickguard over it

No custom template needed, can go back to HH or 1H or HS or even SSS or whatever at any time, and it'll look neat instad of be a mess
