Buys guitars, sometimes plays them
I'm waiting to hear back about this from a dealer but is the pickup a normal sized active? If I don't like the retribution I was thinking of dropping in an 81-7x but I've heard conflicting information on it. can you please confirm?
I just tried to measure as best I could with a metal ruler. The Retribution does seem to be a bit smaller. Based on the dimensions on EMG's website, maybe a 1/16th of an inch or so shorter than an EMG along both the length and width. I'm not sure an EMG would fit in the route.
