Is my Pearly Gates regular, or trembucker spaced?

[Coverdale]

Hey... my friend was at Guitar Center, he insisted with the salesman he needed Floyd Rose (or Trembucker spacing), but I think he gave him the wrong pickup.

It reads SH-PG1b...

According to the Duncan site listing there's the SH-PG1 and the TB-SHPG1b

Which is mine?

Did it come in a jewel case with green packaging or red? SH means standard spaced, TB means tremspaced. The trembucker PG model number is TB-PG1b. The legs also have 3 holes as opposed to 1. Tell your friend to take it back to GC if it doesn't match the trembucker specs and tell the salesman he's an idiot.

Well, I cant take it back, cause he'll only go to Boston in a few months...yeah, he was an ass, I told my friend it HAD to be Trembucker...but the salesman insisted it would do for a Floyd Rose bridge. And my friends is a drummer so he bought it

I'll try to trade it with a local seller...damn...

It'll work fine, the poles on the high and low E just won't line up perfectly. It's not a huge deal really. If you insist on a trembucker, a trade is the way to go, or sell it on eBay, or here on the forum. Post it in the Trading area. It's a PG, someone will snatch it up probably.

Ditto.

I've read some discussion about this... some people say it doesn't really make a difference, others say it does...

I'll check if a local seller will trade. If not, I'll put it on my n4 anyway...
