These by digital "vernier" caliper, known by machinists the world over as a "very near", but close enough for this exercise.
All are 6-string E to e pole center to pole center.
Strat pickups:
SSL-1 bridge and neck = 2.06 inches - call it 2.0625 = 2-1/16 inches (note 1)
SSL-1 RWRP middle = 2.06 inches = 2-1/16" [EDIT - there was a typo here - I put it in as TWENTY point 06!!)
59/Custom Hybrid = 1.91 inches = 1-15/16" ( I definitely need to swap this one for a trembucker)
TB-4 Trembucker bridge = 2.06 inches = 2-1/16 inches (note 2)
Jazz neck = 1.91 inches = 1-15/16"
Tele pickups:
Quarterpounder bridge = 2.19 inches = 2-3/16 inches (note 3)
La Brea Bridge = 2.19 inches = 2-3/16 inches (note 3)
Little 59 humbucker bridge = 2.25 inches (note 4)
Notes:
1. The bridge pickup is angled at, I think, 12 degrees, so the effective spacing is 2-1/16 x cos(12 deg.) = 2.017 inches or about 2-1/64 inches, 3/64ths less than the string spacing.
2. This matches the standard modern Strat string spacing of 2-1/16 inches.
3. These pickup are angled at 15 degrees, I think, so the effective spacing is 2-3/16 x cos (15 deg.) = 2.11 inches or about 2-1/8" which matches traditional Telecaster string spacing.
4. These are angled and the poles spaced so that the slotted poles are under the E and e strings.
All are 6-string E to e pole center to pole center.
