You can dremel down the baseplates too on duncans. i fail to see how its any less work taking a hacksaw to the pickup than the body. people keep saying dimarzios fit in carvin routes

DIMARZIOS DO NOT FIT IN CARVIN ROUTES

neither do duncans, or much of anything else. If you have to modify the bejeezus out of the pickup to get it to fit, then it doesnt just fit

Really, the amount of routing (when routing the body, like you ought to do anyways lol) to fit duncans and dimarzios is the same. literally, its an extra square centimeter off of each ear.

Now, blackouts are the one exception, but its still minor. you have to either A) notch a small groove into the body for the pickup wire to fit under the base of the pickup or B) (i prefer this one because its guitar universal, unlike modifying the pickup for carvin routes only) Make a small groove in the bottom of the pickup for the wire to go under. otherwise, the pickup is just a little too tall to fit right (by approximately the diameter of the wire lol)

and hef no hard feelings or anything. just saying, if you have to route the pickup, its not any different than having to route the body. Not a personal attack on you or anything man

um, i'd much rather modify a pickup than remove wood from a guitar.

having said that, i'm opening up the routes in my Carvin 727 right now for Bare Knuckles

.

should have done it years ago...

no more pickups not fitting for me!

YES, WE KNOW.

Hence the "you have to dremel the baseplate" comment.

Very nice! I just ordered my own 727... can´t wait!

Don't suppose you could take a pic of the whole guitar? I'm curious to see it in all its glory...

Why, so you can lose all the resale value of the pickups, and have to do it all over again whenever you switch pups?

Its not like youre routing out a trem cavity or something, its like MAAAYBE a cubic inch of wood

Definitely worth it lol. so much easier

so losing resale value on a guitar is more appealing to you?

in my case though, Carvin's resale value is abysmal as is, so i wasn't worried

. plus it's a guitar i'll NEVER sell.
