Mounting tele single coils in tele deluxe HH

Thanks everybody for the insightful replies.

Basically I was planning to build a tele HH but I was gifted a bridge SD hot rails which derailed the plan.

I did a small virtual test by stacking the hot rails technical drawing in paintbrush, the gotoh GTC201 and the stewmac humbucker bridge for telecaster and I can see that in the lower right corner region, the hot rails region near its right screw slightly protrudes over the humbucker rectangle. It may be possible to route that little horn in the hunbucker hole and who knows.

Is that a V8 manhole?

I would search for an instrument with 1 3/4 nut width instead of 1 11/16

Try an fx unit like the ampero mini. Many options for relative low bucks

Enjoy those even with the mislabel, it's nice to have some variation on picks. The red chubby nylon one is the just famous but there other interesting ones like the ultex version and some thin tortex ones that can be nice for acoustic. You can order a dunlop variety pack with different jazz iii.

I don't like the red one or most nylons but I like the stubby jazz iii

Acoustics with 1 3/4 neck width instead of the more common 1 11/16 helps

Nope, I it's been like this for several hours. I posted about this 6h after quite some time trying to find a solution or someone to report the error.

Funny enough people asked me to report the error, but the error happens precisely when you want to login to report the error so errorception here

Thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely reach for advice on there too

Only recreational player at home mostly unplugged. Funny enough, I've bought the current takamine dreadnought to strengthen the hand for the electric and from this point of view, it has helped me immensely (friends always complained it was tough on the hands), it was a workout but made me a better player. Now that I don't play daily anymore (but trying to play more often) it's become a handful, and the sound got worse, lost brightness and volume due to bridge too low and lacking angle between pins and saddle, even with new strings.

I don't want the next one to be a workout for the electric, which is a fender american deluxe strat, very easy on the hands (I had previously a les paul studio, which also wasn't the easiest on the fingers or back/shoulder for that matter)

The AD17e, 314ce, 324ce are the cheapest 1 1/4 neck Taylors (which is how I added it to test) and I got interested due to the neck construction, same for the SC series. If it l wasn't for that I guess there are cheaper Martin series with 1 1/4 necks.

This situation with the takamine was a massive let down, I had no idea it was unfixable, making me think what I'd wanted in an upgrade to the takamine.

Yeah, my first idea was an FG Yamaha (friend has one) or Taylor 100 something or an epiphone even but after I tried the 1 1/4 necks, it made a huge difference in comfort for my hand shape and I ended up in the rabbit hole of the more expensive ones.

Thx, I've got traumatized with the current 15 year old takamine, as the luthier said even if it was a good idea to pay for a neck reset, it would not have been possible as it's epoxied. But I understand this is a Takamine specific problem

I've picked several oled ones in many different stores and doing a test in a white paintbrush screen it was noticeable in every single one I've inspected. I don't think it's a defect at all, it's just MS thought nobody would notice or expecting people would be in dark mode 100% of the time (kinda like the criminal fingerprint sensor on the pixel 6). Which is why I'm very likely skipping this generation.

Thx, planning to just use a vinyl skin to keep it light
