If you have a problem fitting BKP singles then you'll find it's the same with Fender, SD, Fralin etc........we all use the same single coil size.The only problems come when a guitar has been routed for 'EMG' shape coils, ie with no triangular baseplate for the eyelets.In this instance, so long as I know I can mod ours to work.

Warpig HSS-it'd have to be Trilogy Suite!

Yeah, my Mother's Milk and Slowhand wouldn't fit into the pickup routes of the SAS36. They didn't even fit with their covers off. I actually filed the ends of the pickup bases a bit :oops: to make them fit. That helped and I was able to get the pickups in, but they wouldn't go in there with the covers on. So they didn't fit as far as length and width goes. Also, the pole-pieces were different. The Ibanez single coils were a narrower spacing than the BKPs.

I'm not blaming Tim for any of this, in case it comes across that way for anyone. He was very helpful and took the time to help me with my wiring problems over the phone. I guess Ibanez have just made a guitar with fairly non-standard sizes in these respects. I'm sure that there's a workable solution for people wanting to upgrade the pickups though. But I'm selling mine and going back to a Strat. I have a soft spot for Strats and I haven't owned one in years. Maybe I just buy and sell guitars too often!
