P90 pickup pocket depth

TimberGTimberG Frets: 50
edited May 2017 in Making & Modding
I have a new build in progress with twin P90's have ordered a set of BKP Blue notes and just waiting for them to be built what depth do I route the pickup depth to? I have conflicting depths one says 16mm and another 19mm

Thanks for the helps

Tim

    It depends on neck angle and associated geometry. 

    but there is plenty of fudge room as long as you don't do it so deep the screws won't reach.

    thanks @WezV they are going into a double cut TC style so no neck angle

    No neck angle, but the neck is raised more instead (the associated geometry bit). 19mm won't hurt, but you may get away with less.  You still need to consider zero neck angle as that will usually mean a shallower pickup route 

    if in doubt, draw it all out full size from the side... starting with the string itself
