I ask this because on my Strat, the neck joint is completely flush with the body, and
the pickguard makes it impossible to place a pick there...!!!
Very nice axes, by the way...!!!

I was very surprised - and I don't know if this was part of the Clapton design or not, but the neck is indeed flush with the body, BUT right at the spot the pick is, there is a little notch in the side of the neck wood that allows a pick to *exactly* nestle in there, itself also flush with the body and just resting against the pickup. So, there are no gaps under any part of the neck, just that handy little notch that allows a pick to rest there (and that's exactly where I'd want an extra pick to be while playing). I've seen pictures of players with picks in that area, which is what led me to try and see if my pick would be able to rest there - and it's a perfect little pick niche!
