I believe it refers to how far apart the strings are, F spaced (or fender spaced) have the strings a bit farther apart, therefore, on the pickups, the little magnets on the pickup have to be a certain distance apart. F spaced are basically just a little farther apart then most guitars. so, what I would do is measure how far apart the magnets on your pickups that you have right now are. and then find out what the distance is on the pickups you intend to buy (I believe they say something like "pole spacing" to denote it) and I believe you would measure from the middle of the magnet on one side, to the middle of the magnet on the other to figure out this number.

now, I'm not 100% on any of this, so you may want some other answers before buying anything
