I'm looking to buy some new pickups for my HSS strat (soon to be HSH) and was checking out dimarzio humbuckers on musicians friend and i can't figure out the difference between regular humbuckers and F spaced humbuckers. Help would be greatly appreciated! :D

Regular humbuckers have the polepieces spaced for the string spread of Gibson type guitars. F spaced is for Fender's string spread (hence, the 'F'). In other words, you need the F spaced.

Why, thank you! Consider yourself luck though. I can go on and on and on about the technical aspects of guitars indefinitely.

F spaced pickups have the poles spaced to Fender string spacing specs.
Other pickups are spaced to Gibson string spacing.

With "blade" magnets it don't matter!

hahahahahahahahahahahaha
