Do i need a 53mm Spaced Bridge pickup?
« on: February 26, 2013, 03:11:52 AM »
Hey guys. I currently have a SD JB4 i got from a Hot Rodded Set (JB4 + Jazz) on my Epiphone Les Paul that, some years ago, had it's bridge replaced by a Tone Pros bridge. I dont know the model, it was installed by the owner of the shop where i bought it.

It's been years passed but recently i noticed this:



The picture is taken directly over the pickups in a straight angle, and yes, on the bridge pickup the higher strings aren't matching the polepieces. I also have SD triple shot rings, but i don't think that's the problem.

Do i need a F spaced pickup? 53mm?

asian made and most replacement bridges are usually 52mm

some les paul copies also have slightly misplaced bridges
