I ordered a Li'l Sreamin' Demon Neck Pickup for a Parts Caster build, get it in and the notice it's F Spaced (53mm). Why would Seymour Duncan do that? Are all Strat neck pickups F spaced? They don't even offer one non F Spaced.
Are the poles not lining up? Does it fit? According to the specs on that pickup's page (and all of the other neck position single coil humbuckers with poles) there is one size.

I put a narrow 2 1/16" Floyd Rose Rail Tail on it with a 1 11/16" nut and when I get up to the neck pickup they're way off. I think 49.2 mm spacing would have been perfect.
But the spec diagram definitely shows 53mm spacing. Interesting.
If you're not experiencing drop-outs, I wouldn't worry about it. However, sometimes these "Lil" models struggle more than regular humbuckers because of their small poles.
