Trem spaced pickup with normal bridge?

...my boss would slay me for an error like that, she loves star wars. It's true, a girl that likes star wars :lol:

EDIT: She's 26 and single if you're interested :wink:

Never mind Star Wars, do you know any girls who like Asian horror movies (or alternatively, Asian girls who like any horror movies)?  They don't have to be as young as 26.  Just breathing.

Ahem....   :oops:

Returning to the original topic, the string spacing at the bridge of all my newer Gibsons is 52.5mm, exactly the same as a modern Fender but not quite as wide as a Floyd or vintage Fender.  Over the bridge pickup poles the spacing's 51 to 51.5mm - so I think your Miracle Man will be perfect in the bridge position.  I prefer 52mm (or F-spaced) at the bridge for all my guitars (50mm at the neck of course).  Even some of Gibson's own "treble" pickups like the 498T are F-spaced.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

Thanks people, now I just need to build the thing.  So far I have the bridge, and some straplocks that the legendary Dave Simpson threw in with the bridge when I bought it off him in seconds out   :D

And good luck to you all finding your respective Princess Leia s   :P

Hi.
I found that my R.Y. with tremspacing would fit great in my '68 LP.
I just measured it to check it out.
But, the other way around is not that good (for some reason).
A 50mm spacing with a Floyd eq. guitar will have the outher E's off.
