I agree with this, but only for the neck pickup. The bridge on my CIJ sounded terrible.

I ordered a pre cut one, sanded the bottom a bit and wood glued it to my tele. Works fine for me. If a legitimate guitar tech saw it he would probably tell me I did a horrible job but it works just fine for me.
