Farrow	Re: Magnet Stagger Doc: I set my single-coil guitars (except p-90s) up so that the pickups are as high as possible without dragging the strings. But I did try two of the TexSpecs and they're not for me. So I went through the store's junk box and managed to come up with something that sounds _exactly_ right! I did have to rout the p/g a bit, but the guitar already had that crappy "universal rout." I put a 70's Jazz Bass pickup in the neck position and a Tele neck pickup in the bridge position! The 8 poles on the JB pickip don't line up exactly, but I haven't noticed too much of a problem yet. I flattened out the bridge radius a little (it's now more like 12" than 7 1/4") and it sounds GREAT. Just my $.02 Farrow http://surf.to/pharaohamps
