It's actually a tele neck pickup form factor, but a p90.

Yeah, I have no idea what that means, but that's what Fralin told me when I emailed them this question!

Having owned Reverends, which are made with koa bodies, I have not liked the "sharpness" that appears to come out of them when comparing to Tele customs and Gibson LPs. The last one I had, the Charger, was in theory this build, but it sounded so different. It may also be the pickups, too. But, I...

Ordered the pickups: Fralin Pure PAF humbucker neck and the Steel Pole 43 bridge.

It's a Babicz. The paperwork shows 55mm string spacing.

I'm trying to order some pickups and I don't know what pole spacing to choose for the humbucker neck: 49.2mm, 50mm or 52mm. I've ordered a Gibson-scale conversion of a Tele neck, standard thin, 10-16 compound radius. The bridge saddles measure 55mm. Having a hard time finding the right answer.
