Try that before doing any other modifications. If you don't like that, then
it's because your not a floating pickup kind of guy and you should switch to
a guitar designed for routed PUs, like a 575 with a solid spruce top, from
Jay Wolfe.


Just be aware of scale length if you go this route. Eagles have 25.5"
scales and 575s have 24.75" scales (like 175s). I tried spruce top
575s and found them to be fine instruments but I wanted the longer
scale and opted for the Sweet 16.

Oh, do you have a tone control?

I second this. A tone control -- on the body not the pickguard -- was
one of the mods I got on my Heritage. I rarely touch the tone knob on
my tele if I'm playing rock, but I find the tone control very useful
for jazz, especially when I switch between plectrum and fingerstyle.

Good luck with your decision(s)!
