Title: looking to see what specs i need
Post by: Swatman on May 18, 2010, 12:50:01 AM

I am going to buy an open poled nailbomb for this guitar:

and im wondering what specs i would need:

Spacing: 50 or 53 *im guessing 50 since that is standard*
Leg:
potted or unpotted

53mm spacing for a Floyd, always.  Not sure about the legs, but probably short legs if those pickups are similar to the DiMarzios in the Axis.  And get the pickups potted if you're playing high gain stuff!

That doesn't affect the spacing -> 53 mm.  About the leg length, maybe you could ask them directly.

I believe Nailbombs are potter by default..they are a higher output pickup.
