    The bridge pickup is F-spaced...F-spaced means Floyd Rose spacing, any guitar with a Floyd Rose will come stock with F-spaced bridge pickups. The neck pickup is regular spacing because the spacing narrows down enough to make it unimportant once you get to that part of the guitar. Many argue that using F-spaced pickups is pointless in the first place and that it is impossible to tell the difference so I never worry too much about it, but if they have the pickup you want in stock and it's F-spaced go for it. If it's not, you won't notice anyways.

          If your buying new pickups, then theres really no reason not to get the proper f-spaced one. It doesent cost any more!

            I'm sure we all know but it may help some new shredders out there. These are the only p/u's I'm familiar with. Do any other companies offer a regular and "f" spaced version?

            Dimarzio calls them F-spaced (per DiMarzio "Fender" spaced)
            Duncan calls them TB (TremBucker)
            EMG = no need for wider spaced p/u's. They are active throught the entire p/u casing.
