jackson sl-4 - changing pickups - f-spaced??

[zm01]

hey, been a long time since ive been on here, but i know u guys can help me out
im looking to change the pickups in my import jackson (sl-4)
thinking of dimarzio paf joe(neck) and dimarzio tone zone(bridge) wired split coil. found the pickups for under $60us each, but im unsure if i need the fspaced version for my sl-4. I looked down the string path on the stock pickups and it seems like the bridge pickup is spaced slightly different. is this fspacing? any help would be greatly appreciated- TY

Your SL-4 has a floyd-type bridge. Floyds have similar spacing to fender bridges, so you'd need the F-spaced pickup for the bridge position. You can get away with normal spacing at the neck position.

By the way, my Ibanez RG1320 comes with a Tone Zone in the bridge and it sounds very good.

Measure between the pole. Regular spaced is 1 15/16" from the center of E pole to the center of E pole. F is over 2" wide - I've gotten different widths from different companies, but they are all wider than 2".
