Fender humbuckers in my Flying V I'm an idiot

[Troubleandahalf]

Yes I actually did.
In the vague ether of my mind, I do seem to recall pole piece distances were not the same. But I was on Craigslist and saw a set of Fender Modern Players at a great price and stuck em in.
Now I'm bothered and can also witness they are not even really under the outer strings.

So I'm wide open to suggestions for the next pair. And if anyone wants to trade, all reasonable offers accepted!

The only way it matters is in looks. They won’t function any differently. I have Gibson spaced hummies in some guitars that are supposed to have F spaced pickups. It makes no sonic difference that anyone could ever detect without using their eyes.

That's good to know.

I put 2 bridge h/b's in my 70's Japanese SG.
It sounds...well like a cheap Japanese 70's SG, only louder.

Pics are needed.

It's a magnetic field. It is not razor fine above the poles.

Do you like the sound of the pickups in there?

If so, rock and roll!

Bonus points for fearless exploration!

Cheers!

ps: Thread title includes 2 sentences. First sentence does not disprove the theory suggested by the second. Required disclosure in dispeptic law. The number of humbucker styles available exceed the constellation star count in sector CHBW1563.8sxnbb.1900007685DcDff alone by 2 orders of magnitude. Don’t try this at home.
