Title: Pickup size for guitar with Hipshot bridge
Post by: Economista on March 01, 2015, 11:33:28 PM

What needs to be the pickups size (humbuckers) for a guitar that has Hipshot bridge? 53mm or 50mm?

Could you measure the E to e saddle on the bridge yourself?

When in doubt, get the ruler out.  :tongue:

Should also clarify that this is a headless guitar bridge system.

I checked on the website and there are several different hipshot bridges.

I would write to Hipshot directly.  They are very helpful.  I received a bridge with the wrong size hex key and I wrote to them stating that I think I damaged one or two of the adjustment screws and which size should it be and they sent me out the correct key and a full set of spare hex bolts to Australia.  If their customer service is that good I am sure they can tell you the bridge spacing of one of their products.  The guy who helped me was Zack Singer.
