Re: Duncan Distortion question

The tb6 is the tremelo version of the sh6, Refering to the pole piece spacing. I would get the TB6 model if u have a floyd Rose equipped gat, or a guitar with a tremelo that has more spacing between the pole pieces than a standard fixed bridge. Either way if you get the wrong one, the pickup still sounds and works fine, maybe not on a Floyd, but on most standard tremelos.

For a standard bridge Id order the Standard sh6

Re: Duncan Distortion question

I've got a non trem spaced Distortion on a guitar with a Floyd and there is no volume dropoff what so ever. It is purely a cosmetic issue as the pickup is hot enough to pick up the string vibration even if it is not directly over the pole piece.
