Can someone measure something on your S-500?

Distance from the saddle break point to the center of the bridge pole piece for the high and low E strings?

Thank you! Putting S-500 pickups in a first year Peavey T-60 I'm restoring. [image]https://flic.kr/p/CBDZNn[/image]

I'm currently out of town but will be back later this evening. I have a 1982 S-500 which I will use to post the measurement.
Hopefully, another member will see your post and provide the measurement, too.

I used a micrometer and measured from the edge of the saddle inside hole to the inside of the pole piece hole on my USA S-500 with 4-bolt neck. I got 47.72 mm on the low E string and 36.48 mm on the high E string. Good luck.
