Would anyone happen to know the measurements for AXY56 and MXY56 pickups? Thanks!

Thanks, Greg!
Where did you find that? I looked on FAQ, must read, and did a search on pickup size and didn't find anything.

Bill, tgo
IF you're changing out pickups on an Alembic, don't do what I did: When I went from AXY's on the Spoiler to FatBoys, I got Fatboy 56's, not realizing that with a classic taper 5 neck, it actually required FatBoy 4's to replace the AXY 4's it came with. 56's were way too big for the routs. Be sure and check . . . .
Thanks, Bill, I guess I too used to the Google look at the first page and move on!
Joey, thanks very much for the warning! I was thinking of maybe putting them in a non-Alembic body and want to make sure they would fit the existing rout.
Well, the existing routs are too small...bummer

as a life long sparkie who did many years in electronic manufacturing in the trenches alongside the gearheads (a.k.a. mechanical engineers) i learned many a mechanical maxim from those guys that i see put into practice to this day on the shop floor. among the foremost:
1) If it doesn't fit, force it.
2) if it still doesn't fit, use a bigger hammer.
3) file to fit, paint to match.
