Woah, before this I always thought the "F" in F-spaced means Floyd Rose.

You're right, I really learned the hard way that it actually means Fender.

Damn...

dota ing right now. i might do it later ... or not

Id have to disagree..pole spacing are cosmetic only

I had the same situation before when i installed a normal spaced Dimarzio EVO in the bridge of my fixed bridge RG. didnt line up at all.

shouldve gotten a f-spaced one

dat prs sooo tempting

cant geet it out of my head

get it out

looking at that pic, the issue is more of your low E being too close to edge of board.
so either ur pic not shot headon, or ur bridge saddles out of alignment...

looking at this also, if the pic is really shot headon...
f-space also wont help u...since diff between regular pickups is 3mm and from that pic the diff look like at least 6mm.

anyway, what guitar is that? doesnt look like typical fender pickguard?

Low E string doesn't give me problem at all, though I must say you are right, it seems very close to the edge of fretboard. I guess it's a good thing for me because it's easier to fret it using my thumb that way.

Saddles aren't stock, they're Graphtech. I forgot how's the spacing like using stock saddles.

It's a MIM Tele Deluxe.

in that case, confirm no pickups will work.
u need a new pickguard or stick to original ones.

I assure you they are big volume variations on every string, especially on cleans.

I actually love the idea of the p-rails (hybrid humbucker) but never like the look of them.
Makes things (like your situation) hard to solve

What I did was; switched pups WITH pickguard, because the original pickguard that mounts the Fender Wide Range humbuckers has slightly bigger pickup holes (FWRH is not the same size as normal humbuckers). I also changed the saddles to Graphtech. I think each of this alter the string spacing and pole pieces alignment a little, but together they turn into this significant effect.

I guess I'll just bear with it at the moment.

oh u changed everything.
maybe now time to put a floyd rose in it

I'm actually thinking of digging another pickup hole to make is HHH and then install Bigsby and then reverse headstock and then killswitch and then KORG Kaoss pad n then built-in Zvex Fuzz Factory and delay and then sustainer pickup and then piezo saddles with separate stereo jack. Urmmm, what else did I miss?

all thats missing is +3kk! becoming ur bff...

wtf how did i even come into the picture

Haha it seems you two are really inseparable. One would go bore without the other and finally will drag the other into anything together. Shhoooo schweeeet!

On another note, I just didn't like the sound of FWRH, hence swapped it together with the pickguard, and the Graphtech saddles are for longer lasting strings and to reduce tone over-brightness.

and he has been summoned...hail! hail! hail!
when u going mm?

i've never had a string break at saddle before.
to reduce brightness also can go nylon saddles aka vintage style.

plz, dont associate me with that gibson loving person

next week im aiming tuesday. lol
