Pickup distance - MM Van Halen

[groff]

Hi to all community members

I would like to ask for a favor. I compare pickup distances on different guitars for my new build and I’m interested what they are on MM Van Halen model.

If someone has good will and time to measure the distance A (string breaking point on E1 saddle to the center of the bridge pickup) and the distance B (humbuckers - center to center) I would highly appreciate your help. I goggled a lot but haven’t found usable info.

Thank you very much in advance

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I'd be happy to measure my Axis (same thing), but please clarify where the string breaking point is. Is the the point at which it bends to go into the string block?

Thnx Tollie,

Breaking point is where string touches the saddle traveling from the nut. It's the knife edge of the saddle groove. On the E1 string this distance is pretty much equal to the scale (25.5'' / 647.7mm).
