49mm poled single coils?

[jammer669171]

Anyone know where I can find them, or if they even exist? I'd like to keep the "pole" look, versus going to the rails. Any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas?

Both Kinman and Haussel offer Strat set with three different polepiece spreads, 49mm, 51mm and 53mm.

Zhangbucker offers'em as a custom feature.

I actually own such a Zhangbucker strat set, that's for sale because I need to pay for medical bills. If you're located in Europe, it'll be economically feasible to buy it from me. If you're in the US, then it'll be cheaper to order'em directly from Zhangbucker.com

Mexican standard strat pickups, with the ceramic magnets, are somewhere around 49-50mm. I found this out back in the early 90's when I tried to replace the pickups covers on mine. The regular 52mm covers weren't even close.

I had no idea about these pickup brands.

Thanks a lot for the responses!

Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups' pole pieces line up correctly on Mexican Stratocasters
