I have a very flat fretboard, do I have to order special pickups?
One magnet stagger can’t possibly match all the different fretboard radii of modern guitars, that’s why I offer my AVn series with two radius options. Standard is the 7″ ~ 14″ radius range with a low G pole magnet stagger to suit most single coil pickup guitars with a traditional bridge. These are available as right or left hand pickups. The other has non-staggered poles and suits really flat fretboards such as compound radii ranging from 15″ ~ 18″(Warmoth etc). These will suit both left and right hand. The radius range is marked on the box as well as on the base of the pickups. The radius page lists popular makes & models and indicates the fretboard radius. It even has a Kinman Radius Gauge so you can measure your fretboard if you want to be sure. Please ensure that you select the correct radius when ordering or buying your new pickups. For more information on this, refer to the Radius page in the Tone Workshop.
