Pearly gates set with nickel

[gimmieinfo]

I have see pearly gates mentioned and having F spaced options. I do NOT want F spaced, as it;s going in a LP. But can i assume that the ones with nickel cover will always be G spaced, or 50mm ? I see sets like this listed but none ever mention the spacing and i wanna be sure the set i buy is gibson spaced. I would think only uncovered ones can be had in both spacings.

i wouldnt assume a covered pgb is normal spaced. more than likely? yes. but i have a trembucker covered pgb, so they are out there. buy from an authorized dealer and they will tell what youre getting. used is fine, but gotta rely on the seller to know wtf they have

Usually, it would be labeled in the ad and pic as a Trembucker. The sticker on the back would have a TB prefix.

The cover doesn't indicate the spacing. You can get a cover on either, so there's no guarantee. You have to measure the pickup dimensions.

Depending on the year of the LP, you may want a Tremspaced bridge pickup. Gibsons after around the 1990's use a wider Fender-spaced bridge.
