Floyd Rose spacing is 53mm.

I go for the  the short leg 1/4" option when I have made a purchase of pickups. This length fits fine in my Charvel and PRS guitars.

Any doubts contact Tim who will advise for your particular guitar.

Is the RGD the one with direct mounted pickups rather than bezels?  If so, you may need to ask for Triangular feet as well.

53mm & short legs are the correct specs...

I have a similar question about my Cort X-11. I'm guessing it would be the short leg, since it's a RG style super strat, but I don't really know. Im pretty sure it'll be wide spaced though.

Yes, you can enter it in the comments box when you order in the online shop.

I've had to do it for some of my Jacksons - they rout for the corved corners that Duncan Trembuckers use & the squared corners of the standard BKP feet (which are correct for the larger Gibson rout) are a bit too flush for my liking...

Damn wish I had known that. I would have saved me an hour with a file on Saturday morning rounding the corners of my Miracle Man.
