I got another AT-1 and it does not say F-spaced on the box or on the invoice -guessing there are 2 versions?? I'm assuming I got a version meant for a LP.

My question is how off with the pole pieces be used with a Floyd equipped guitar? Or I will rephrase this in a blind A/B test could you tell the difference of guitar A) with a Floyd and non F spaced and guitar B) with an F spaced and by how much?

Yes, in the strictest of technical terms there is a difference. However......



Difference is insignificant.

More of a marketing trick pups companies use to play on the OCD nature of most guitar players.

That's what Dimarzio actually said too. Not the marketing ploy part thos!

The strings won't be aligned perfectly, but most of the time I can't hear a difference. I have a couple of regular spaced Dimarzios where I'm supposed to have an F-spaced.

The low E is rarely a problem as it has so much mass that it does not matter if the polepiece is a bit off. The high e can be more problematic but in almost all cases I was able to adjust by raising the polepiece under this string and/or lower the other polepieces.
