Yeah, I've got that on my Am. Dlx, except I've got a swimming pool in the neck, and room for a single coil middle, I would guess.

No idea what that little nobbin' space is for. Its kind of curious, because it doesn't lead to anything, its just there.

But, yeah, I've got that, too.

I got the same thing on my Tele-Sonic.
I believe they call it a chamber.

I've heard that called a smuggler's cavity and stuff but my understanding was that it is representative of MIM bodies, something to do with the CNC.

That's the same thing I used to think to myself when I was a young virgin.
