No, standard spacing will work just fine with that.

Well, to be honest, spacing only matters for looks. A trembucker will work in a Les Paul just as well as a PAF would, and same in a Floyd Rose loaded guitar. It's really just the pole peices lining up, and sometimes trembuckers are wound hotter than standard spaced buckers.

Thanks DS, that makes more sense to me now.

Re: F-Space ?
Then why can guys like Lew and I hear a difference? Just because some people can´t hear (or don´t think they hear) a difference doesn´t mean there isn´t one
The way to measure, that Duncan has noted since day 1 of the trembucker: strings <2" center to center @ bridge = No TB
Strings 2" or more at bridge = TB

Re: F-Space ?
I was gonna say, your pole-pole spacing is 52mm, and trembuckers are 52mm. I'd go F-spaced.
My tremspaced C5 should be arriving today or early next week, to replace a regular one in a guitar that has a volume issue with the two E strings. As soon as I get it in, I'll tell you if it makes a difference.

I should've thrown in an IMO, or a to my ears. I've had a trembucker in a TOM and a standard bucker in a Floyd'ed axe, and couldn't hear a difference from the proper spaced pickup.

Re: F-Space ?
NO prob, DSS.
One thing that a lot of guys also forget is that even trem bridges can vary a bit as far as string spacing goes, T-O-Ms as well because the string slots are filed by hand.....I´ve actually seen both with strings so far apart that they were almost outside the poles on a TB (esp. with some of the wacko Imprt hardware that´s out there)...and on one of those I GUARANTEE you´ll hear a difference without one
