Everything axe set all Trembuckers for Strat.

Why are the Everything axe set all Trembuckers. The little 59 in the neck don't line up with the outside strings. Anyone know?

I think the single sized humbuckers all have the same string spacing. Do you hear any string balance issues? I'm guessing they'll be fine.

Welcome to the forum!

Single coil-sized humbuckers aren't Trembuckers, which are regular sized humbuckers with a wider string spacing. With the Everything Axe, the pickups are way powerful enough even if the strings miss the poles. If the cosmetics bother you, you can always go for a set of Rails.

Single coil-sized humbuckers aren't Trembuckers . . .

Although, he piqued my curiosity and I checked the dimensions. They are both, in fact, 0.414 pole-to-pole spacing. I never noticed that before.

But, as a brand name, they don't use the term 'Trembucker', even if that is what the spacing is.

Understood.

 

[guitarjunky]

Ok thanks. Yeah I don't hear any problems with it. They actually sound great. : )

I have a few students with the Everything Axe set, and it works really well. Really transforms the sound of a Strat.

It's facial tissue, not kleenex but the terms have become synonymous. Much to the chagrin of Duncan branding people
