F spaced bridge pickup on SE Bernie?

[kevin65]

From my measurements it looks like the bridge pickup on my Bernie is F spaced. I'm thinking of upgrading the pickups and was wondering if using a regular spaced humbucker in the bridge position would matter or should I try to get an F spaced pickup? The Dimarzio 36th Anniversary bridge pickups are available in F spacing so was thinking of getting a set.

I've got regular spacing Antiquities in my Bernie. No issues.

Thanks, I am tempted to get a set of Seth Lovers but thought the bridge pickup spacing could be an issue. Will think about them again

I have "incorrect" spaced pups in one of my guitars. Ironically it is my best sounding #1 guitar!!

I have Seth's in an H150 (think 59 LP) and they are heavenly.

Min 4 week lead time. Oh well, just have to be patient...

Personally, I never found the pole spacing to be that critical for sound. Looks a little janky but that never stopped me.

I won't mind the looks if the Beastbuckers sound as good as the demos
