I realize this has been covered a bit and I have read much about it still I can't decide what would be best in my case.
I understand Duncan's general rule is over/under 2" as the decision point but it's so close.
I have a guitar with 1.975 String spacing, I understand Duncan standard spacing is 1.929 and TB is 2.07
I made an exact scale drawing of both Standard and TB spacing and accurate pole piece diameter under my strings. (below)
Which of the two would be better for my string spacing, pole pieces a bit outside or pole pieces a little inside?
Would the standard space be better because when strings are bent it moves over the pole piece more instead of away? I'm also thinking it may be that it will make no audible difference either way and I was wondering if it would be better to have the strings inside the pole pieces rather that outside them? I'm not concerned with looks just sound / string drop off.
Thanks.
