Floor shop custom or custom shop?

[Gibson 1964]

Would a PATB-2 wound on a PATB neck Bobbin be a floor shop custom or a full custom shop pickup? I'm just curious.

I'm not sure what you're asking. All PATB's are wound on the same bobbin. Doesn't matter if it's a 1/2/3, neck/bridge, HB'er or single. There's only one PATB "size". (2.75" wide.)

The Polepiece spacing is narrower on the neck version. Thus, I would assume the bobbin would be different. It may be the same width, but the holes for the parallel axis pieces are not the same. Honestly, I'd like them to line up on my Les Paul.

You, sir, are absolutely correct. And, I'll be danged. I've got the PATB-1 set in my LP Custom, and I never noticed before that the pole spacing was different. Duncan doesn't list that spec in the "dimensions" diagram. Thanks for that correction and info.

P.S. The "outside" dimensions are the same. Each bobbin is 2.75 x .7

How off is the bridge polepiece spacing on yours? (Being as I am debating putting these in a black, '84 LPC, it seems relevant) I was thinking the 2. But I have a set of 1s I am trying out in a tele. I was debating a 2 or a crazy 8 in standard spacing.

It's not bad. After dinner, I'll post some close-up pics.

I would still love to see this if it is not too much trouble.
