Seymour Duncan Black P-Rails Humbucker Set - Electric Guitar...

Most Helpful Review

"This is partly my fault (due to inexperience) but the description really isn't clear either -- the bridge pickup is the standard-spaced version. This refers to the string spacing, not the fit into the body of the guitar. So this set is wrong for many guitars such as newer Epiphones or any other guitars that have an F-spaced bridge or tremolo. I have a new Epiphone LP Standard and the problem is that (I only realized after installing) that the bridge pickups do not line up with the strings and the high E string is almost completely outside. The goal with pickups is to have them line up with each string -- otherwise it looks very bad, and arguably performs worse.If you don't believe me, you can see the recommendation from pickup-maker DiMarzio who says "many guitars with fixed bridges (including post-1998 Gibson® and Epiphone® Les Paul®, SG® and semi-hollow guitars) should have F-spaced pickups in the bridge position. Most tremolo equipped guitars that have a nut width of 1-11/16” (43mm) or more should also use an F-spaced pickup in the neck position."Probably more experienced guitar folk already knew this issue, but there is nothing in the description of this set that makes this clear. It does mention "standard sized" but that is in reference to being a "drop in" (which I assumed meant it fits in the standard-sized slot).Normally I would blame myself for being uneducated, but there wasn't anything in the listing that even prompted the question "is it the right spacing".Plus Seymour Duncan wouldn't suffer by advising the buyer properly since they do sell the right one. So I have to buy another one for $99 bucks so am giving 3 stars.But the main thing is I want to help others avoid this -- please check the spacing of your strings at the bridge! If they are F-spaced (and most new Gibson and Epiphone LPs probably are) then don't buy this set. Instead buy them separately. The standard P-Rails which you should get for the neck are "SHPR" and the F-spaced ones which you get for the bridge are "TBPR" series."
