Yep, that is exactly how RIC should design the neck pickup routing.

According to the engineer in me that is...

As much as I absolutely love 4001 and 4003, these have some aspects of their design that belong in the ''things that make you go hmmmm'' category.
1973 4001 Jetglo
2023 4003 Mapleglo
2022 4005XC Jetglo
1979 MusicMan Stingray
2021 Epiphone Thunderbird
2020 Fender P-Bass American Original 60s

There you go being clever again and pointing out something that is now obvious.. :lol: (now where is that thumbs up smiley)
An extra thrust plate would do the trick wouldn't it........
