yo mike, I'm looking on small bear right now and the only split shaft style ones I can find are the smaller 16mm ones. is that what you used? I'm using this for this strat w/humbuckers project I'm working on. I've had these humbuckers for a while in another guitar and while they sound great, the bri...
