F-Spaced Pickups Revisited

Remember in a way earlier post when I described the importance of having an f-spaced pickup at the bridge? Take a look at this photo which I found on the web somewhere--I believe it may have been a pawn shop web site or something. This is an HH Stagemaster and you can plainly see that the bridge pickup's pole pieces don't even come close to lining up under the strings. This is a much better example photo than the one I posted of my guitar, and this one is as bad, if not worse, than mine was.

Take a look a your own guitar. If the bridge pickup's pole pieces don't line up precisely under the strings, you need to get f-spaced.
