Does it work with F spaced guitars?

Yes, all pickups work with tremolos. The difference between an F space pickup and normally spaced pickup is imperceptible. Enjoy, it’s a great pickup.

does the EMG 85 sound good in a strat in the bridge

Sure does! I really like these pickups in both the neck and bridge positions in a Strat. Have fun!

Can the guitar work with just one pickup?

Yes. It comes with the necessary controls for one pickup. Just configure it and your good.

Can this pick up go into a Squire Bullet Mustang?

Yes any guitar that can fit a humbucker. Just have to make sure you can fit the battery in the back plate if the guitar comes stock with passive pickups.
