Do I need to get an F-Spaced Neck pickup too?

[eighteen-0-nine]

I just wondered this as I'm getting a Holy Diver bridge, as well as a Dimarzio Liquifire neck. They sell the Liquifire as F-Spaced, and at first I thought this was due to people wanting to use it in the bridge. But then I saw the Crunch Lab Liquifire combo, and both are F-Spaced. Should I just get an original or F Spaced?

My guitar is a trem equipped Ibanez.

I have not really ever heard about F spaced neck pup. I have a CL LF combo too, but in a seven string so there is no spacing stuff anyways as far as I recall.

Thing is that the strings run togher towards the neck (obviously, cause the bridge is wider than the nut) so all neck PUs can be the same spacing and only the bridge need changes at times.

yeah that's what I thought. I've never bought an F-Shaped neck, was just curious as Dimarzio sell them in F-Spaced sets.

I can't imagine why DiMarzio would recommend F-spaced pickups for the neck position.

Maybe they call it an "F-spaced set" but it's only actually the bridge pickup which is F-spaced?

The only reason you'd need an F-spaced neck pickup would be if your guitar's neck was about 55-60mm wide at the nut!

My guess is they sell it F-spaced for the folks that want to use it in the bridge position. For the neck position the normal version is the correct one - regardless of whether you have a G-style or F-style bridge.
