Do I need different mag sizes for normal humbuckers and trembuckers?
Same magnet lenght for HB and TB?

Re: Same magnet lenght for HB and TB?
So I could pull a mag out of a regular sized HB and drop it into a TB (and vice versa) without any problems?

Yes, I do it. All my guitars are Gibson-designed, and since I buy most of my PU's used, I go for price and sometimes those are on trem-spaced HB's. I swap mags whenever I think they need it, and trem-spaced isn't a consideration.

I saw a scientific article that showed the magnetic field of a humbucker dropping off on the ends, both E strings see less magnetism then A through B. It would be interesting what may happen with a long mag taking up the width of the baseplate.
