Lari Basilio into Tele - Trembucker or not=

[woffi]

Hi!

I'm thinking about putting the Lari Basilio Set into a Tele. The Tele bridgs is this one: https://www.thomann.de/de/harley_benton_parts_standard_t_style_hbridge.htm

I'm not sure if I should order the Trembucker version or the regular one for this.

Does anyone know?

hold up I misread.

Most likely humbucker. A covered trembucker won't fit because it is skinnier and longer than a humbucker. An uncovered trembucker will fit but look weird.

I generally don't get a trembucker unless I absolutely have to. They were invented to solve a (mostly) nonexistent problem, and for some reason SD decided to do it in a way that makes them non-interchangable. Why couldn't they just do what everyone else did and stretch the poles out?

well, the technical schematic says the string spacing is 52mm, so I think you're fine with a Trembucker.

A Floyd Rose is only 1.25mm wide, so if a Trembucker works on a Floyd, I think you're okay with a Trembucker on this bridge.

I agree with orpheo about measuring, but measure the size of the route.

The bobbins of a humbucker are 2.695 inches end to end. Trembuckers are 2.780 inches.

ah cover and the spacing. you're right. Totally forgot about that.

Oh, the LB set always ha a covered humbucker ... that might be a problem then.
