Algebra, schmalgebra!
I originally placed the mini by ringing the 24th fret harmonic and marking the body.
I made a cardboard pickguard jig and slid the p'up back and forth, and spun it around in the rout. There were only slight changes.

Ha!
That was one of my previous suggestions.
I like Esquires, but I'm not sure I want one though, at least not as an admission of defeat... yet.
It's too far from what I had in mind.

So, the past two nights I've soloed each pickup- removing and disconnecting one and playing the other, alone, through the switch and pots.
The bridge pickup sounds good. I don't love it, but it's a good, basic Tele souind, if a little rigid sounding. But it's clearer w/o out the mini installed. There was a slightly nasal boing to it.
On the neck pickup there's a ridiculous improvement. In the fully forward mounting location, the low E sounds pretty close to perfect/normal. But there is still a slight wierdness there on upstrokes, but that depends on where I pick along the string. I'll try the other location and rotations and see what happens.
It was just nice to hear the attack again.
I may try an inexpensive bridge p'up from GFS (maybe it will get along better w/mini) and get some proper caps for this thing while I'm at it.
