Can I sand down the rails on my Hot Rails pickup?

Goodcleanfun · 03-19-2012, 08:03 AM

Hey guys,

I have a hot rails (equivalent) in the neck on my tele. It sticks out pretty high so I have to have high action to compensate. It's as low as it can go in the body.

Can I sand down the rails without ill effect to enable a lower action?

Thanks y'all.

Why don´t you ask Seymour Duncan?

it'd probably be better to make the pickup routes deeper.
