Question re Humbucker and Trembucker sizes

[mrpinter]

When I did my first Warmoth build I didn't really know what I was doing, and used a regular sized Screamin' Demon with a vintage Strat sized bridge - so the string spacing is wider than the pickup pole pieces. Does someone know if the adjustment & mounting screws are in the same positions between the Humbucker and Trembucker Screamin' Demons? So that it would be easy to swap it out for the wider pickup?

You shouldn't need to swap it unless you don't like the looks of the strings not aligning with the pole pieces. It doesn't actually make a ton of difference -- the magnetic field from the pickup is generally large enough to get all the strings.

Yeah, it sounds OK, but the visual aspect bugs me like crazy. I just spoke with my tech, and he told me it would fit, so I guess my question is answered - unless anyone has different information.

yep just screw the trembucker in. no problems. They actually have 3 holes for the mounting screws in case you want to use two screws so you can adjust the tilt as well.
