Spacing Question 50-53

[locoed]

I should know this since I’ve been playing for 40 years but I don’t. I read that spacing has to do with the guitar having or not a trem, would this ESP be a 50mm spacing?
Sorry for the lack of knowledge on my end.

Measure the distance between the first string and the 6th string over the pickup area. If it’s 50 mm get 50… if it’s 53 mm get 53.

Trem bars usually dictate 53mm...or you can get a blade pickup and not have to worry about it..

Thanks for answering. Appreciate it

I don't think there are many guitars that are actually spaced 50mm at the bridge pickup area.
