Just be aware that using a Trembucker will require you to modify the pickguard to gain some additional space. To avoid that I would suggest using a humbucker instead. 52mm bridge spacing is narrower than many other bridges, so the the standard Humbucker is an acceptable fit IMO. Both can be used, so it is up to your preference really.

I agree with what's already been said. The trembucker pole pieces fit better under the strings, but it is mainly an aesthetic concern and would require you to widen the pickguard slightly. A humbucker, even though the poles aren't exactly under the strings, will have no difference in tone and would not require any modification.Originally Posted by IanBallard
Rule of thumb... the more pot you have, the better your tone.
