Hello, Can someone please tell the standard factory spacing for an Epic 6 string in millimeters?
17, 18, 19mm
 
Thank you.

It's hard to compare this to other makers that use center to center spacing since we use side to side spacing at the bridge. Here's the details:
 
string center 1 to 2 = 0.68   (17.46mm)
string center 2 to 3 = 0.71   (17.91mm)
string center 3 to 4 = 0.73   (18.35mm)
string center 4 to 5 = 0.74   (18.86mm)
string center 5 to 6 = 0.77   (19.47mm)
 
spacing between 1 and 2 = .65   (16.51mm)
spacing between 2 and 3 = .65   (16.51mm)
spacing between 3 and 4 = .65   (16.51mm)
spacing between 4 and 5 = .65   (16.51mm)
spacing between 5 and 6 = .65   (16.51mm)
 
The spacing feels closest to an 18mm center to center spacing, but sorta not really. Sorry it's not an easy answer.
