Hi all,
I am getting ready to commence my first multiscale build for guitar #2 and ordered a custom set of slanted neo modern pickups from the lovely people at blackwater guitar company, which I received recently. Today I printed out the fretfind drawing and was pretty bummed to see that the pickups looked way too big, the pole piece spacing appeared too far apart. I grabbed my ruler, checked the fretfind printout and discovered the error was there. It looks like fretfind uses the direct, angled measurement between the string endpoints for the spacing at the bridge, not the parallel distance between the endpoints, if that makes sense. A quick adjustment of the calculations and it now looks like the pickups are in fact correctly spaced, the error is with fretfind.
I will do some adjustments to the bridge spacing spec with fretfind later tonight to account for the angle and verify the problem, but it struck me as a pretty significant and obvious error.
Have any of you experienced this?

I've used FF for a few fans and never had that problem.
