The choices of pickup routes are determined by the body chosen and the choice of top- or bottom- control routing.

Standard T-Style Single Coil

These are the classic T-style pickup routes. The neck and bridge pickup routes are shown here.

Depth: 0.75″

Standard S-Style Single Coil

This is a route for a standard S-style single coil pickup for rear control route bodies. It is intended that the pickup be mounted to the body using a pickup ring (i.e., without a pickguard). The image at right shows two such routes: for the bridge (slanted) and middle pickups. Screw holes for mounting the pickup rings are shown as well.

Depth: 0.75″

Humbucker

This option includes deeper pockets to accommodate the depth of the pickup height adjustment screws.

Depth: main pocket: 0.75″, screw pockets 1.25″

Note that if a humbucker is used in the bridge position of a T-style body, either a humbucker bridge (e.g., Gotoh) or a hardtail bridge is required.

Humbucker with Wood Mounting

This is the same shape route as the normal humbucker route, above, but does not include the added depth in the screw area. The intention is to mount the pickup by screwing directly into the guitar body.

Depth: 0.75″

Note that if a humbucker is used in the bridge position of a T-style body, either a humbucker bridge (e.g., Gotoh) or a hardtail bridge is required.

P90

Depth: 0.75″

Note that if P90 is used as a bridge pickup of a T-style body, then the bridge must be a hardtail.
