Adding Micro-tilt to Powerhouse-Clapton

"WHAT IS A MICRO TILT ?" 

Well, Here is a Quote Straight from Fender 

"Micro-Tilt neck adjustment." 

"This is a feature originally introduced in the early 1970s as an easy means of adjusting the angle of the neck in relation to the instrument body. Micro-Tilt is a simple leverage mechanism. Through a small hole in the neck plate, a small Allen screw can be used to increase neck angle. Tightening the screw makes it protrude beyond the surface of the neck pocket, pushing on a metal plate mounted on the bottom of the neck heel and thus slightly increasing the neck angle." 

I obtained a Made in USA neck for this project. The good news is that it has already a steel disk for the Micro-tilt.

I also had a neck plate from an early 90's American Stratocaster, which has the adjustment hole. 

Using the adjustment hole as a guide I drilled a hole through the body. I widened the hole a bit in the other end. I then installed the micro-tilt device by tapping it gently with a hammer so no damage was caused . In the middle you can see the screw that pops up to tilt the neck.

 The plate was still 2 mm off the wood surface. So I used a clamp to press it in the wood. The neck plate was used on the other side to distribute the force in wider area.

Here is the result.

 This is the way to use Micro-tilt.

Powerhouse Clapton almost ready to go. However,I still need to change the tremolo. Powerhouse requires the vintage 6-screw tremolo with 2-7/32 spacing and big block instead of the 2-1/16 spaced small block tremolo it has at this moment.  

And here is an example from Youtube how Lace Sensors with mid-boost sound like.
