Are The EBMM Axis Dimarzio Pickups F Spaced?

[EEF13]

Hi. My first post here. I wanted to know if the Dimarzio pickups that come in the Axis are F-spaced?

 

[TNT]

Yes.

from another thread I have going...

Answer from Dimarzio:
The bridge pickup should be F-spaced and the neck pickup should be standard-spaced.

 

[threeminutesboy]

true on both Axis/ASS and EVH

Thanks guys. I am going to be buying a EBMM Axis soon and a friend of mine is selling a EVH Frankie pickup which is regular spaced and I was thinking about putting it in the Axis.

I have wanted to buy the Axis for a while and it just so happens that my friend is selling the EVH pickup. I love Eddie but I am the kind of guy that wants to find my own sound.

You would be incredibly stupid to replace the Bridge pickup on the Axis with the (duncan) Frankenstein pickup.

The different tonal characteristics of woods used in guitars are a defining factor to how a pickup will ultimately sound.

Also it probably won't fit the guitar without some work.
Im sure I read about the pickup routes having to be modified to accept non Dimarzio pickups.

Also I am not sure on what size the legs on the base plate are on the Duncan pickup.

Jesus... go easy on the poor guy. He's just asking a question.

Welcome

You'll love the axis, awesome guitar!
A lot of people (including me ) LOVE the standard axis pickups!! Haha they sell like hotcakes around here when they come up second hand. Be sure to give them a chance, but hey, if you do change them i'd love to hear what you settle on.

Stick around, good times and good people here

Must be some great pickups.

Try them before you ever consider swapping them

I am sticking around. I like it here.

They are. They're pretty highly sought after, especially because you can't get them separately... just gotta wait for them to show up on eBay or what not.

I love to change pickups, but on the Axis and ASS I think those pickups are just perfectly voiced for that guitar.

I am sticking around. I like it here.

Good man!

you will adore the axis. its an awesome guitar. i cant put mine down. try the pickups before you decide to buy some new ones.

Cool. I am probably going to buy used. I got $800 already and I am getting an extra $300 plus what my job and gigs pay. I want to get something $1600-ish or less.

You can definitely get a used Axis in great condition for $1600 or less... possibly MUCH less if you're patient enough to wait for a killer deal.
