Humbucker versus Trembucker for SG Special Bridge

[blairincal]

Hi everyone. I just bought a 2nd hand SG Special (2001). I know the stock pickups are rubbish and I want to replace the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan Distorted. I'm just a little confused as to whether I need to buy a Humbucker (SH-6) or a Trembucker (TB-6)? Sorry if this is a dumb question..... I don't have the SG yet to measure against the specs.

A regular spaced humbucker will fit. I've got a DD and it sounds killer.

For some reason modern Les Pauls are spaced wider than regular spacing and a trebucker lines up better. I'm sure the Nashville tune-o-matic on the SG is the same. Trembucker.
