    String Spacing

    Hey all,

    I have an ESP LTD F-2e

    I am looking at new pickups and can't find an f-spaced version of the pickup I'm looking at

    Dimarzio says 43mm nut and over should be f-spaced

    but the F-2e has a 42mm nut

    anyone know the specific dimentions of this instrument?

    this is all i was able to find

    It's a rare thing for aftermarket pickups to exactly match the string spacing of a guitar.  I know people will disagree, but the pole spacing isn't really that big of a deal.  If DiMarzio doesn't offer it in F spaced, just get the regular spaced.  You'll be fine.

        The "F-s Spaced" pickup is designed for guitars with wider string spacing in the bridge Amanda The Adventurer, such as guitars with a tremolo system or wider neck widths. You should choose a recorder that matches your tone and works well with your playing style preferences, whether they are specifically labeled F-s Spaced or Regular-s Spaced.

            Since your nut width is slightly smaller than the recommended for f spaced pickups you might want to experiment with regular spaced pickups or consult with a guitar technician to see if there is a workaround.
