Help! (Spacing requirements input)

I am looking to replace covers, so I need to know the measurements. All 3 of these are .48mm, correct?

I was thinking 49.2 mm, but it's hard to know for sure from photos.

49.2 is a common spacing for Gibson pickups, I've not seen 48mm used for pickup parts, covers, etc. Not to say that 48mm isn't used by some makers out there, I just haven't seen it.

Thanks, so a set of .050mm covers would be a safe bet then

You could try measuring directly across the top of the poles, and from the inner edge of one to the outer edge of the other. It might let you get the lines on the ruler right on top of what they're measuring and make it easier to see it precisely.

Here's a post that shows more details about getting a good spacing measurement -

50mm or 53mm spacing for standard Humbuckers?

Specifically in a 6 string Les Paul. What is the common thing? Thanks!

Wait, you are looking for single coil covers? These have different pole spacings than humbuckers.

By Amazon they only have 3 sizes from manufacturers, .048cm, .050cm and .052cm
