F-spaced vs Standard Spacing

[tfridgen]

Is it a huge deal if I put F-spaced pups in my Gibson LP?

It'll work fine and you'll never notice the difference unless you're an Eric Johnson-type.

Eric Johnson, I am not, thanks man

This leads me to my next question, which has better harmonics, black, white or zebra?

F spaced actually works better with modern Les Pauls anyway.

ebonics sound better from black pickups. white pickups sound stupid trying to cop ebonics.

Pfft...Zebronics = best of both worlds

I've said it a million times. standard spaced pups sound thicker and warmer, even with tremolo bridges.

Gibson bridge pickups are F-Spaced / wider than their neck pickups. I know, because when putting Gibson nickel covers on my Duncan pickups, the bridge cover holes were F-spaced!

I have no doubt that 53mm spacing works fine in LPs. That being said, my 50mm spaced BKPs line up perfectly with the poles in all of my LPCs.
