A good setup isn't that hard to achieve. Reall, you're making more out of this than you need to. |
i don't see why i would need to remove the neck to slightly deepen a pickup cavity. i really don't think i'm making a big deal out of it. i think it just boils down to personal preference. if i'm shimming the neck pocket and most likely the locking nut (if the guitar has one), i'm gonna have to raise the bridge as well... i personally don't like bridges that sit up high from the body, therefore i would opt to just slightly deepen the pickup cavity in a super shallow Ibanez route so i could put any pickups i want in at any time and not have to worry about doing any extra shimming in the future. i'm not saying either way is right or wrong. i just like the idea of having a universal pickup route that will accept Dimarzios, Duncans, Bare Knuckles, etc...

it means you will have to route the pickup cavity deeper, which isn't a big deal and doesn't do any cosmetic damage that you will see once the pickups are installed.
