With these pickups, what mods do you have to do to a modern T-bird to make them fit? The pickups look shallower than modern T-bird pickups. Is it a simple as gluing in some material into the existing pickup routes to get the pickups close enough to the strings, or is some deeper modding required? As I mentioned before, I want to put these in my Tokai T-bird, alongside a new wiring loom, and I want to have these pickups and the rings on the bass. The Tokai is similar to the Epiphone T-bird, except it has a Fender-style bridge. The pickups are those tall, black jobbies with the tapered ends and the texture on the top.
Apropos nothing in particular, I have installed those black Epiphone T-bird pickups in both an OLP Stingray and a Cort GB74 in the neck position and they sound great!
