M10 pickup question

[TheCor]

Hi, I won an older M10 in a card game and I was wondering if the pickups are F spaced or not since I am fixing it up and getting some new ones and can't find the info on the site anywhere. Thanks for any help.

DiMarzio F-spaced have been perfect in every guitar I own, and all but one are hardtails. If I were you I would buy F-spaced for the M10.

F i think stands for floyd-spaceing...the m-10 has a standard trem on it..so i dont think you need F spaced pickups persay

I thought the m-10 was string through... http://www.espguitars.com/esp2003/m10.html

Also, from the dimarzio website: F-spacing refers to the wider of the two spacings. For proper string alignment and balanced output, F-spaced humbuckers should be used in the bridge position on all guitars with string spacing at the bridge of 2.1" (53 mm) or greater.

Just measure the strings over the bridge pickup

my buddy bought one around 2001-02 and it had a trem on it in the starter pack

thanks for the help, i have the one pictured (string thru). sounds like my best bet is to measure it so that's what i'll do. i'm planning on putting dimarzio PAF pros in it. so far i've stripped the paint and rounded the edges with router, i'm planning on staining it and getting a guy i know to do some wood burning shit to it so hopefully it turns out cool. i'll put some pics up when it's done, it'll probably be a month or two though.

yeah i owned an M-10 for a while,
yes they are string through,
and yes they are f spaced.
over all a good playing guitar, and something worth fixing up.
im going to go out on a limb and guess that you got it satin black finished?

wait nvm, i just noticed you posted that your did alot to it already, so nvm about the finish of it.
my buddy bought one around 2001-02 and it had a trem on it in the starter pack
the old m-10s have string throughs, and moved to a trem in 2000(im pretty sure, dont quote me on that oen though)
