do i need BOTH F spaced pickups for an ibanez in the neck and bridge? for bridge i know F spaced but not sure bout neck...

[-Rhaab]

I'd say do it, if its got a trem.
I just looks nicer. Doesn't do anything to sound, i tried a normal and f-spaced tone zone and it didn't sound any different.

like Rhaab said, it will probably look better, but no difference in sound

I took a quick pic of mine. It has an F-spaced bridge and a normal-spaced neck. The alignment is off some on the neck, but no big deal.

Heres a F-Spaced in the neck so you see the difference between the two.

[Yousef]

They're both not aligned.

[Ibateur]

also an example of an invisible middle pick up.

Compared to the first picture, the neck pickup here is aligned.

[eviltwin]

both should be F, if you look at the DiMarzio FAQ you will find measurements for the nut and bridge which will tell you what you need.

An F-neck, properly aligned, will look like this, as it's supposed to...

[TAorama]

Get both F-spaced. The spacing will be much more aligned when compared with a standard spaced pickup. It won't sound much different, but the spacing WILL be more accurate.
