F-spacing refers to the wider of the two spacings. For proper string alignment and balanced output, F-spaced humbuckers should be used in the bridge position on all guitars with string spacing at the bridge of 2.1" (53 mm) or greater. On these guitars, if the nut width is 1-11/16? (43 mm) or greater, F-spaced pickups can be used in the neck position as well.
Why are there two different spacings?
A long time ago (in the 20th century, actually) the electric guitar world was divided between Gibson and Fender designs. One of the differences between the two was string spacing. In general, Gibson chose a narrower string spacing at the bridge than Fender, and therefore the polepieces on Gibson humbuckers were closer together than the magnets on Fender pickups. When guitar shops started installing humbuckers in the bridge position of Strats, it was obvious that the strings didn?t line up with the polepieces, and if the E strings were too far outside, the sound could suffer. Our first humbuckers followed the original Gibson spacing, and we call them standard-spaced. When we released our first humbuckers with wider spacing, Floyd Rose bridges were very popular. Floyd string-spacing is the same as Fender spacing, so we naturally called the new pickups F-spaced.
How do I know which spacing to use?
F-spaced pickups measure 2.01" (51 mm) center-to-center from the first polepiece to the sixth. Standard-spaced pickups measure 1.90" (48 mm). Although some players believe that F-spaced pickups are only for the bridge position of tremolo bridge guitars, many guitars with fixed bridges (including late 1990s Gibson Les Pauls and Epiphone LPs) should have F-spaced pickups in the bridge position. Most tremolo equipped guitars that have a nut width of 1-11/16? (43mm) or more should also use an F-spaced pickup in the neck position. If you?re replacing a bridge-position pickup and you're not sure what your string-spacing is, it's usually better to get an F-spaced model. It is not necessary for the strings to pass exactly over the center of the polepieces for best performance, but it is wise to avoid a situation where the E strings are sitting completely outside of the outer polepieces.
我找一哥们给我在ebay上买alexi的EMG PU
等到定下了 过两天就到了
结果今天一搜索 仔细一看 发现 有ALX和F ALX 2个版本
我先是囧了半天 因为里面的图片和介绍都一样
就是最后有一句 The set is available in a Floyd Rose version (F-ALX) and a standard Tuneamatic version (ALX).
可是 我买的是ALX啊
然后用翻墙去了谷歌 找到了这个
才明白 原来双摇和无摇的拾音器 是有区别的
这真是雷死我了 那么多量产的拾音器 都不分双摇和无摇版本
到了一个只用一个拾音器一个vol的吉他手的signature拾音器上
他竟然分了
这样 拾音的范围 就少了3mm啊(F spacing是51 我搞普通版是48mm)
这能用吗? 求斑竹和拾音器达人来,特别是对Jackson那种比普通拾音器大的拾音器有过研究的哥们过来帮我
