I have always matched up my pickups with accurate string spacing. You can get any with not doing so but why would you? You are putting in a pickup to get a result, why not get the best result possible and make it match properly?The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

I think some people don't care if the poles line up perfectly, and you can't hear a difference with high-output pickups. I tend to like everything matching up if I have the choice, though.Administrator of the SDUGF

I normally will get the right spacing when/if I can. However, when it comes to the difference better DiMarzio F-Spaced and Duncan Tremspaced, there is a difference. Duncan's are slightly wider and match up great with vintage 6-screw wide spaced trems. DiMarzios are slightly narrower.
In addition, the DiMarzio coil size is the same with the standard and F-Spaced pickups. The pole pieces are where the difference comes in (notice many do not have screws that go through the base plate). Duncans are physically wider than the standard spaced model, meaning the entire pickup is wider.
