sorry to bug everyone again, this should hopefully be my last post on this topic. just wondering what part i measure to work out if i need 50mm or 53mm spacing and do i need conductor 4 or braided 2? thanks once again, after i know this i can finally get them! i take it when you order the mississippi queen all you you have to do is choose the cover?

I'd suggest 4 conductor to allow you coil splitting options

as for the spacing there is a couple of threads, but they sum up to measuring the width yourself (to make sure)

Measure the distance between the 1st & 6th strings over the polepieces of your existing bridge pickup.

You only need to get a 4 conductor humbucker if you want to have the option of coil-splitting. However, you don't have to wire in coil splitting if you have a 4-con.

For the MQ, you choose whether it's for the bridge or neck position & what cover you want.

so you would recommend the 4 conductor? too be honest i don't have a clue what the difference is so im going by what you guys say :D i have open poled pickups at the moment but don't have strings on the guitar, so i measured from the first silver screw on the pickup to the last silver screw and it measured at 50mm exactly, so i guess thats right

Get a 4 conductor & you can't really go wrong - you can either wire it for simple humbucker operation or to a coil splitting switch to allow you get get a single coil type sound as well.

Assuming that those pole pieces lined up OK when you had strings on it, then yes, 50mm will be fine.
