Hello all, first post here.

Long story short I'm picking the guitar back up again for the first time in a long time... Right now I'm mainly on a Lyle acoustic a friend let me borrow, but I am moving to an old Carvin Bolt kit guitar I built about 10 years ago.

I want do to some work on it, and install new pickups. I'm considering the EMG DG-20's, but being as I haven't played in almost a decade, much less been inside my guitar for mechanics, I'm wondering if there are any foreseeable problems as far as spacing, installation, etc.

I know the DG's have an extra knob and lose a switch, but it appears most everything would fit ok (I did read somewhere I may have to drill an extra hole around the neck, but can't verify).

Can anyone provide any input into this matter?
