Hi. I'm a new member here and a relatively new player. I'm thankful for all the info that people have been sharing on this forum. Thank you all.
Now to my question:
Has anyone installed a Duncan Little'59 in a '55 Fender Studio Deluxe/Champ without any additional routing in the cavity?
I replaced the original Fender pu with a Porter strat pu that I had. It barely fits and leaves very little room for up/down adjustment.
The Vintage Vibe website has ceased operations. Any other good alternatives?
Thank you. |

Thanks, Brad.
Couldn't find anything there.
Waiting for someone here to chime in. After all, this is the forum of the experts. |

Yes, it will fit no problems. I put a Hot Rails into my Champ, a distinct improvement. The guitar is so tinny that the hotter the better. Thinking about a string-through mod next!

Thanks, Brad. I'll look into that.
That (very tight) Porter pu has a hight of 0.82".
According to the Duncan site, the Hot Rails and the Little '59 have a hight of 0.85". The cavity in you Champ seems to be a little deeper to mine then. |

| Could it be that older Hot Rails or Little '59 pickups have a different height? |
