Gus G. FIRE Blackouts, do they fit in a FR loaded guitar?

[jacksonrhoads]

As may headline said I'm planning to change my EMG's (81&85, I don't really like them) out of my Jackson Rhoads RRXMG24 for the Gus G. FIRE Blackouts,
they sound sooooo incredibly awesome. But do they fit in a guitar with a Floyd Rose System? Cus' most of Seymour Duncan PU's have Trembucker Versions.

Thank you guys.

Can the Dave Mustaine livewire pickups be used on an electric with a Floyd Rose tremolo?

You should call SD's tech support to get the answer.

The website shows them as standard spaced not trembucker spaced... double check with customer service to make sure whats available. That being said though standard spacing will work with your floyd rose. Just aesthetically the pole pieces wont line up with the strings.

Yes there are no alignment issues with the live wires

I thought Gus G had a Floyd equipped version of his signature model, too, but I can't seem to find the actually model outside of some random pictures. I would've imagined that he would have an F-spaced bridge pickup given his Floyd use.

His signature models had a Floyd pre-2009. At this time, he was still playing with Distortion/'59. Even then, he was still playing his black, tune-o-matic, custom shop model most of the time.

As far as I know, there is no trem space version available as of now.

Probably won't make a difference. Peavey/EVH Wolfgangs don't have an F-spaced bridge pickup.

I've thrown a passive regular humbucker in a Floyd-loaded guitar and the low E sat so far outside of the pickup that it was really soupy and muddy. Problem solved with an f-spaced version.

However, being active, your experience may be different.
