I actually went ahead and run some measurement. Tilt retracted, bridge off, VFL's screwed in deep to clear the way for the ruler. Ruler against the frets (no rocking) -> ruler height from deck is ~10 mm on A and ~8 mm on B. tells me A style non piezo should work. Waiting to hear from Hipshot how much the Graphtech sensor will add to that.

Min string height spec of the Kickass match A style per Hipshot pdf's @ 10 mm.

I have a Hipshot A-Style with the Ghost saddles right here, what measurement do you need?
I might have a non-piezo Hipshot A-Style tomorrow to compare, depends if USPS delivered it or not...

deck mounting surface bridge to string resting surface at lowest action setting when sensor deep in pocket. Alternately bottom of saddle shoe to string resting surface when sensor deep in pocket. Either one are an indication of string height per Hipshot terminology (won't let me paste PDF showing depiction).

The Graphtech sensor rests on a flat surface in the saddle pocket/the sensor to saddle interface is a flat surface, correct?

Thanks!

The sensor sits in the shoe and only has side to side adjustments (for string spacing)

The shoe height is 0.311" (7.89mm) if you need that.
Bottom of shoe to bottom of string sensor is 0.2875" (7.30mm)
The bridge baseplate has staggered heights for the fretboard radius
E/D 0.099" (2.51mm)
A/G 0.1215" (3.08mm)

Did I miss anything?

Thanks for the breakdown. I like that design better than ABM with action adjustment screws in the sensor. Was not aware the baseplate was staggered to mimic fretboard radius.

The ABM Lockdown baseplate is staggered for the radius also. The Ghost inserts replace the brass inserts (I removed one for dramatic effect) and you have to mill out the shoe and the base.

It's worth the extra $100 to get a new A-Style in my opinion. I dont like that the height adjustments are done on the Ghost sensor on the ABM.

And yes, the Made in Germany Wiha screwdriver was 100% on purpose to hold up the Made in Germany ABM bridge.

First Gen Fury has the slanted Super Ferrite pickup.
Second Gen Fury has the split P pickup and the pickguard is straight across below the pickup.
Third Gen Fury has the split P pickup but the pickguard is curvy below the pickup.
As far as logos go, Peavey changed them over and over again and it's hard to keep up exactly when they did what.
Here is the link to the serial numbers:

Here are pics of Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3 Furys.
