20th Anniversary Silhouette and Pickups

[Slater]

I can open and check but normally in the MM wich kind of Pot they use? I mean wich kind of brand or similar and wich one you suggest to me?

I don't know what brand EBMM uses, but my first choice is usually CTS. There are also Dimarzio branded pots, which I would think work well with Dimarzio pickups.

Thanks for your answer, one last thing just for try to restore at the best the silo. Someone knows if the pups are normal or f-spaced? Many thanks.

I don't believe you will find an exact replacement for the pickups. I had to replace the neck pickup in my 20th several years ago and I was informed by EB that the pickups were custom made for the 20th. At the time (2007 or 08), they still had some in stock. I sent the guitar to them to do the replacement.

Good luck

I believe you have to provide the original pickup in order to receive a replacement from EBMM.

I already know and have experience with the support of ebmm and for me they ask the old brige of my singray forthe replacement. But the thing is if i can't found the replacement i just want to catch some new pups but i don't know if they are f-spaced or not. With a quick check with a couple of paf i have seems they are f-spaced but i prefer to check with you guys.

The neck pickup will definitely be regular-spaced. For the bridge pickup, measure the distance between the low and high E-string pole pieces. Close to 50mm is regular-spaced, and around 54mm is F-spaced.

Thanks for the help. Bridge is around 54 mm so i go f-spaced. For the neck the poles of the actual paf mounted on (a regular one from gibson) don't fit so good on the strings. Perfect on the low-E but short on the high-E (more closer to the B-Strings). Probably is both f-spaced? Sorry for bothering you. And many thanks for the help.

You can also measure the strings themselves over the pole pieces and then decide which would be a better fit.
