Pickup positioning. Start with 3 x P90's

Hi guys

Can someone advise on pickup centres for 3 x P90 on a Strat. I've downloaded, enlarged, measured and scaled several pics of Strats with 3 P90's and have arrived at different positions. Not one was the same as the others.

Thanks in anticipation.

Robert

Thanks. I notice that the pickup centres are not the same and that surely is relevant.

This was something that was thrown together very quickly close to 20 years ago out of parts i had .I wanted to have something in my pink parts strat similar to an old non reverese firebird i had with 3 p-90's.It had 1 vol.and 1 tone control with three 60's era gibson p-90's.It sounded great when you started to turn the amp up a little.I have a few p-90's and may wire this up again this weekend if i have the time.

This is pretty much the original configuration except for the cream covers
