Yes, I'm using the tuner bridges ans some other parts from my first build. I will keep this axe for decoration only...You mentioned the ABM Single String Bridges. Are you using the ones with the built-in tuners? Are they the same ones on you previous build?

Hi ... The only thing that I'd consider is the bridge pickup. From my experience with eightstring homemade fanned frets guitars, it's important to slant the bridge PU so it's got the same angle as the bridge. You might need to use the emg 45 in this case...
Just a random question, might've been answered before - why would pickup angle matter? Wether the bridge is angled or not, the strings aren't, right?
The farther away from the pickup is from the bridge, the less low end response it will have.
I can not agree with you. Or maybe I missed your point. On all my guitars the neck pickup has alwas more bass. The bridge position has always more attack and sharpness, but for a full low sound I have to combine it with the any pickup in neck position.
Anyway, it will be a challange to find the right position for the pickups on this build. At the moment this step is still far away...

Woah woah woah. Flamed ebony? Definitely gotta see that, though I do love me some Ziricote.
