I don't set them to pull sharp.

That's a given for using them in the first place of course, I'm thinking of the floyd recess. :)

Test fit shows plenty of clearance.

DIY builds are some of my favorite guitars. I started about 7 years ago. I just buy parts and come up with pretty nice projects. This is a Strat I built during the pandemic. Walnut/Maple body, WD Walnut neck, Hipshot lockers, Schaller top load bridge, 2 SD Vintage Stacks and bridge Hot Stack.
It's brought me back to being a kid and making model cars and airplanes.(only I can use the end product)

Best of luck with your project, the parts look great!

I have a collection of old pickups to try..

A little bit of everything. Old Dimarzio Super Distortions, some asymmetric winds that I have swapped the magnets, an old PAF, old JB.. yadda yadda

Impeccable taste in pickups there!

If I don't find anything that "fits" I'll reach out to Greg @ Jalen and have something custom wound.. or Jeff @ HighOrder.

I can tell I like you already. That shielding game is tight AF.

You strike me as the kind of guy who shielded his cavity cover too. That's the sauce.

I appreciate these build pics. Thanks for sharing.
