Misalignment Misadventures

So what's a luthier to do when the strings don't line up with the pole pieces of a pickup? You can't move the bridge or the neck or the pickup cavities for that matter. You have two options: make a custom pickguard that realigns the pickups or do what I'm going to do and switch to a rail-style pickup.

  2. Don't mind at all. I visit that forum all the time. I'll probably add to the comments.
