I noticed that the pole pieces on my 2005 Showmaster set neck don't line up properly. the bridge humbucker pole pieces don't line up under the strings, not even close. take a look at my photo, and you will see that the stock Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pup is not F-spaced. It is meant for an LP style guitar, with narrower string spacing. Kinda a big oversite for such a nice guitar.Image

It is weird that a stock Fender guitar has such a noticable oversite as the pickup is spaced for an LP guitar.

Both my E's line up off like that - always wondered about it but doesn't seem to effect the output any.

Same for my stock SSH configured Bullet "1" from '85 and every other example of my model as well. I've considered either swapping out the stock humbucker for a GFS which is much closer in lining up under the strings or installing a metal cover which is readily available both with and without holes on ebay in a variety of finishes..
