help on pickups

[the tone]

hello, i need help here. i want to change two of my humbuckers but i don't quite sure about things like F spaced and whatsoever. What does it mean? any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

F-spaced is DiMarzio's terminology, it's a reference to the slightly wider pole-pieces spacing (bridge humbucker) for floating/ dual-action/ Fender/ any equivalent bridge type.

for Seymour Duncan, it's referred to as 'Trembucker' spacing

F-spaced or trembucker is to accomodate floyd bridge. So, just check your respective guitar.
