2 pickups, 1 cover?

[Reticle]

Couldn't resist on the title, sorry.

Anyhow, I am building a narrow spacing (16.5mm) 6 and have a set of Nordstrand DC6's (18mm) that I really want to use. While I could slant them to align the poles, the angle I have to use is, ummm... visually distracting in relation to the bridge I'm using (Kahler 7460). I've thrown together single cover for both pickups which lets me mount the pickups at the correct angle to match the poles while the cover itself matches the angle of the bridge.

Aside from losing individual adjustability, are there any potential problems I'm not seeing?

I did the exact same thing on my 5 string build. The spacing on the Lindy's was off, and there is no serious drawback that I can tell. I guess you can't have two different pickup heights but who cares. Its kinda like a pickup cover/ramp combo.

That's pretty radical, dude.

I thought it was pretty witty.

I have to be honest. As much fun as I had laughing at the thing (like I need to specify), I didn't make the connection until I read the first sentence. I am ashamed.

That's a really cool solution to the whole problem, and it looks brilliant too! Nice work!
