I guess I made this thread for all of us interested in getting blackouts which are the size of dimarzios/SDs. Basically if you can just post in here which guitar you have and how much routing/sanding you had to do to get them in and if there was anything you noticed or would advice against.
This can be a great resource so that all this info in consolidated in one thread and all one has to do is look in here to get the information for their guitar. Photos would also be killer

Confirmed List:
Blackouts - 6 String
BC Rich Jr. V Deluxe (replacing: EMG 81/85) - Drop in replacement. No routing req.
Passive Sized Blackouts 7 String
Bernie Rico Jr Vixen 7 (replacing: Duncan Invader) - Drop in replacement. No routing req.
Carvin DC727 - They fit perfect in depth. Minor routing required for the lower ear of route. Easier than routing for Dimarzios.
Ibanez RG7420 - Neck shim req. if you don't want to route. (Might hold for RG76xx/Rg74xx series)
Ibanez S7 - Route out pup route at least another 3 or 4 mm out the bottom, possibly more. OR you could shim the neck and raise the bridge
Schecter Blackjack C7 - Very tight routes. Have to dremel quite a bit of wood out to get them to fit.
Washburn WG587. - No problems fitting the pickup cavity but the mounting rings were way too tight so I had to shave off some plastic.
Regular EMG Sized Blackouts 7 String
Jackson COW 7 (replacing: EMG 707) - Drop in replacement. No routing req.
