How far back from the edge of the soundhole should one keep the braces to insure that soundhole mount pick-ups can be mounted without hassle and grief?
Thanks, Brian

I keep them back 1/2" and have never had any pickup problems. There's a BUNCH of pickups though, and I'm sure I haven't installed them all.

The new LR Baggs Anthem soundhole module doesn't accomaodate any soundhole braces, only the thin reinforcement strips.
