I am getting the GFS Dream 90s(HB-sized) for one of my guitar builds, and I was puzzled to see that the bridge PU has wide 2 1/8" spacing. So I wrote them and Jay answered that he has sold many to Gibson users, and that as long as the strings are inside the poles, not outside, things will be dandy. Is this true of most pickups? I'm trying to get the right bridge to handle my pickup swaps.

I tend not to agree with Jay, but I do on that point. I'd go along with trying the pickups, and see what result you get. I've done a lot of jockeying strings around on tele style barrel saddles, and the biggest of the big dropoffs were on those lipsticks that Jay sold so many of, where the string was wide of the polepieces. Most MIM and MIA Strat neck pup polepieces are way too wide for even the vintage string array, and yet the result was very satisfactory, so?
