Let me look into it and see what shipping would be. I don't think it matters much on the spacing, the pole pieces are gigantic and should work for about anything.maiden_fan":d698d said:

USPS 6-10 day shipping time is about $25.00 USD. The H3 is pretty smooth overall. Its too hot for me, but I know alot of guys like it. I have an H2 in my Hollow Cobra and an H2+ in my reg Cobra. The H2+ is plenty hot for me!maiden_fan":63f6e said:

from a review on HC
The H3+ is not the first pickup I've used by far. But it is the first great pickup that made me understand that sometimes hot is too hot. This is a sizzling-hot pickup, but don't think along the lines of a 'advertised hot' Dimarzio or EMG. The H3+ flat-out sounds phenomenal, and can handle ANY level of gain from any source. It will just compress the gain to a point where you can always control it. Imagine you could pick any top-notch rock album and only hear the guitar track. Use the latest TOOL album for example, or even Wes Borland's rhythm sound (seriously). You get that kind of pro tone instantly, but with much more headroom to push. Harmonics are there if that's your thing, but I prefer sometimes to split the pickup and keep the volume full-on. I'm a big Jerry Cantrell fan, as he is well-rounded and talented yet always up to something unique. I can nail his voicings with the right Bogner. But if I played through a Mesa, I'd still sound like a much better Mesa. Basically, everything you plug into sounds more hi-fi and proper. It's as if the H3+ is just a hi-quality microphone, not a pickup. Transparency is the word. You're not sucked-into sounding like 'that guy'. You can back the volume down and let your hands work for you. Matter of fact, you can leave your amp on the gain channel and just work your tone out with the volume, especially with the H1+ in the neck(think super-hot SRV). Can't say enough about the versatility. Overall, I have the confidence that no matter who I play infront of, they will compliment my tone. With the right axe and a quality amp, you'll have professional tone, guaranteed. There's just no excuses left to use!

what are the main differences between the H3+ and the H3. What do they usually run for?

From Anderson's site
H3 Our original super hot pickup. This is the pickup used for developing, testing and insuring the great tonal quality of Mesa Boogie amplifiers. The sound is open, not muddy, but with rich, full mid and bottom end tone. $99.00
H3+ With even more output and increased bottom end response than the H3, this pickup still sings musically and clearly.

The Anderson pickup line is the shit. I've owned several guitars with their higher gain HB's (H2+, H3 and H3+). They're all a little different sounding, but they remain clear, balanced and percussive no matter what amp I've used them with. They are my go to pickups when I need to do a swap.
