If its a tune-o-matic its more than likely regular.
Trembucker=tremolo aka F space=floyd rose

Non-Tremolo= Regular spacing.

I believe F stands for Fender in this context.

It's a bit messier than that, most newer gibsonlike guitars have gone to 52mm spacing that is much closer to F/TB spacing than to "Gibson"/SH spacing (Gibson in quotes there because they're one of the companies doing that).

A regular -non F spaced- pickup should be fine.

I put a Trembucker JB in my gothic explorer because I wanted to space the strings out like a floyd. They were off until I fixed the saddle slots to match the pickup poles.
