Regular v wide spacing

Hi, how can I tell if pups are regular or wide spacing? I need 53 mm but I cannot find that information.
Other brands do have that information and often they offer both sizes of the same pickups.
Sometimes the description do mention 'FR tremolos' like for a trembucker which I guess is wide spaced but most have not any indication afaik.

Re: Regular v wide spacing

The old regular spaced Dimarzio Super D that I have is aprox 1.9" E to E. My TremBucker Duncan is aprox 2.6" E to E. Hope this helps.
 
Re: Regular v wide spacing

Duncan: "Trembucker", models with "TB" in name (TB-4, TB-59, etc.), Note: look for rounded corners on baseplate
DiMarzio: F-spaced, Note: stamped "F" on baseplate
Gibson: "T" models (498T, 500T, etc), Note: most Gibson models since the mid-90s feature trem-spaced bridge pickups from the factory
Suhr: typically labelled "53 mm"

Always measure the pole pieces from center-to-center
