hey guys i know that 707s are in a 35dc housing and was wondering if these were the right measurements



is that 3 and a 1/2 " or 3 and 5/8"?

[jtm45]

I just measured mine and they're 88mm X 37mm (3 and 7/16th's x 1 and 7/16 th's of an inch) exactly.They've probably added an extra 1/16th of an inch to their given measurements to be on the safe side.
I always measure in mm's because it's a far more accurate and sensible way to measure. I mean eights and sixteenths are usually only used for 'exotic substances' these days,lol.

could you measure that again just to be sure also measure cavity to cavity coz you know what they say cut once measure twice and theres no room for error with these dimensions

i use 32nd's and 64th's more accurate than mm oh and thousandths when needed, using digital calipers...

This should probably be in the pickups section

i don't have EMG's... and i would go by what emg says, because you want to give a little bit of room to breath, you don't want it to fit snugly, especially if you're going to paint the cavity in any way.

yeah il give it a mm each side so in total the route is 89mmx38mm

I'd probably add another 1mm on to each of those measurements just to be sure that by the time you've painted it and stuff you'll have enough room.

If you're going to fit EMG's and route for them then surely it would be a better idea to get the pickups first. That way you can get it spot-on.Better safe than sorry.
