Or... you could get one in the 1000 Series. (Korean made) Not as precise and responsive as the German-made ones but depending on what you do with your trem, it may be sufficient.

Hey Jim, I asked this seller regarding the spacing and he didn't know nor didn't know where it was made...

Isn't the 1000 series regularly spacing?

1000 Series Pro is same spacing as the Original. My bad.

It's confusing with all the contradicting descriptions... this one says tha it will not fit existing original "non-recessed" route

Is there any kind of an audible difference when you have the Gibson Fender mismatch between strings and pick up poles?

 
I had one on an Ibby Iceman project I did years and years ago. For the added cost I didn't really detect and significant improvement in function. I think a lot of it's appeal was the more comfy palm rest area as the mini-tuners were moved out of the way.

Tone junkies and folks with far better hearing and sensitivity to tone have said there is a difference and I've bought into it to a degree (I mean, it all kinda makes sense from a physics standpoint) That said, if I'm honest, if you put me in an isolation booth, piped in the 2 pickups with different pole spacings, I likely wouldn't hear the difference.

Probably not but I'm looking for one solely for the purpose of having more fretboard real-estate on both E strings

Well, I found out that it's NOT a drop on replacement on existing surface mount Floyd's as the shape underneath will not allow it... bummer, back to the drawing board... maybe the Kahler Killers?

I think you just need a good 1/2" shim for the neck.  🤣

I have a G-spaced Screamin' Demon in a Centaura, and I'm not convinced there's an audible difference. But my OCD has me wanting to swap it for a proper F-spaced unit. Lol.

And even then, the difference you hear "if any" may just be the new pickup 🤔
