I just got a BL XR16 pickup and havn't installed it in my guitar yet. I know the 710's 3 quarters thickness, would that be the same for the XR16?
Thanks, Tony

Start with 1/8th spacing at the high strings and 3/16th spacing at the low strings, and then you can raise or lower the pickup accordingly, depending on the instrument, your style of playing, etc. Until it sounds right to your ears.

Thanks Louis, I didn't know if they were as hot as the 710.
