Do you need a trembucker?

[Clint 55]

I asked this question one time and the way it was explained to me is, there's more wire, yes, but the same amount of turns, so it's the same amount of output

That's circular reasoning.

[Adieu]

That's circular reasoning.

No, it's a long winding argument

[Reee]

too funny

[ArtieToo]

Adieu is back!

I bid you Adieu.

Output follows inductance, which follows the turn count.

[Clint 55]

Circular reasoning and argument by repetition.

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?

[Mincer]

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.

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.
