Does anyone know these dimensions? I have all other dimensions but these depths.
Thanks!

According to the drawing, the neck pocket is 5/8" or .625" deep.

Looking at the depth of the bridge cavity on the drawing there are 2 measurements---0.850" and 0.687"

Good eye there Caper. The 0.850 in. is the correct depth for the bridge cavity.

Thank you Caper for finding that. I wish I had a prize for ya!

Thanks to jwells for alerting me to it. The 0.687 DP shouldn't even be there.

Someone else determined that the bridge pickup is slightly out of rotation. The bridge pickup slant should be 17°. The pocket is a bit rotated away from 17°. A standard Tele pickup still fits in the hole, it doesn't have as much uniform clearance around the hole. I guess I should fix both problems and make another revision.
