Every bridge seems to be 57mm (19mm string spacing). A Frankenstein jazz I’m using has a 57mm and the strings don’t line up properly between the neck pickup pairs of poles. We all know the E and G have always been a flawed design on a flat jazz pickup resulting in them being a tad louder anyway, but apart from fitting threaded saddles like a vintage model, does anybody do a BBOT with 60mm spacing (20mm string spacing) E to G which will get near as dammit for aesthetic reasons and possibly more even string volume as the E and G are sitting above single poles which always seems to give a string a bit of unwanted volume and unnecessary ’grit’. 
I’d dearly love to fit a pair of pups with raised A and D poles to help the problem but nobody does sensibly priced units either. 
 

Does nobody care about Jazzes??

I think the BBOT bridge on my Aria Jazz Modder is 20... certainly feels wider than the norm.. i'll check and get some dim's as dunno if the back 5 screws are F spaced, although it has 2 up front...

Little grooves for the saddles...

I can do a bridge swap or cheap £ to just replace... postage?

Sorted. Got one for less than £14 from Black Dog on eBay. Okay, it’s got the four corner screws rather that the usual five along the rear but it’s deffo done the job and to me it’s slightly comfier to play being overall 3mm wider finger spacing too.
