F-Spaced means the magnet polepiece of the pickups matches up to the strings on the guitar, old humbuckers sometimes miss the mark.

Orange Caps are a erm I forgot the term to replace the stock capacitor (there you go) in the guitar's control. Cant give you a technical rundown on how it changes the sound.

I think Guitar77 may have some Bare Knuckles.

Actually...
F-spaced means floyd spaced. Meaning that guitars with a measurement of 2.1cm from the middle of the high E to the middle of the low E polepiece have to use the F-spaced pup for better alignment to the strings. No F-space is for anything below 2.1cm from E-E polepiece. Usually about 1.9cm.

Orange drops are capacitors, they are said to give your tone knob a more gradual tone range. Meaning no sudden jumps. Supposedly better quality compared to those stock caps.

Bare knuckle dealers are G77. Not sure if they still are though

Cheers

F spaced actually refers also to fender spaced. So pickups that fit fenders may not fit gibsons for example. From what i heard, orange drop caps are supposed to give your guitar a warmer tone as well. But don't take my word for it, never got round to trying them myself. Hope this helps!

Actually, F-spaced refers to more or less every tremolo

True that. The original meaning is, like you mentioned, floyd-rose spacing. 'Fender spaced' is just a derivative.

Oooo yeah I stand corrected on F-Spaced. My Kahler loaded guitar don't have F-spaced Seymours so there you go. But it's getting some from a friend, old JB for a new Fspaced one.
