What spacing should the neck pickup in a Silo be?

[pureanalog]

My 1993 FR Silo has 51mm spacing in both the neck and the bridge paf pro. I read that normally the neck is standard spacing in EBMM guitars. Can somebody confirm.

AFAIK the neck is always 50 mm or something... there are only different spacings for the bridge PUs, which is around 52 or 53 mm for Floyd Rose trems. 51 seems to be somewhere in beetween. Can your measure again?

let me measure again

Both pickups are precisely 51.5mm (neck and bridge). The actual string distance is more like 53mm. The low E string is at the border edge of the pickup polepiece.

On the neck pickup the string is on the bottom edge of the polepiece.

Both are paf pros and they are the stock pickups of the guitar. The guitar is also equipped from the factory with an EBMM floyd rose. Should I get f-spaced or standard dimarzios then...

Dimarzion on their site says

"F-spaced pickups measure 2.01" (51 mm) center-to-center from the first polepiece to the sixth. Standard-spaced pickups measure 1.90" (48 mm)"

What about the high E string? Maybe the neck shifted a little bit in the neck pocket.
