SH-10 vs TB-10

You have been here a while, SH is standard humbucker spacing and TB is trembucker spacing.

Sorry, I mostly hangout on my amplifier central, more of an amp guy ... What are the tonal differences ? and what was the original purpose idea for Trembucker ? Sorry again.
 
Re: SH-10 vs TB-10

It's so that the poles line up precisely with "Fender-spaced" or wide saddles, as opposed to the Gibson standard, narrower-spacing. There aren't supposed to be any sonic differences, other than what you might notice if the two E strings are outside the poles of the pickup. Some say, this "issue" really isn't an issue. I think it depends on the guitar and the pickup. I can imagine that with a pickup with a weak magnet like an A2, you would notice the spacing issue more than a person using a high-gauss ceramic or A8 magnet pickup.
 
Re: SH-10 vs TB-10

Trembuckers are designed so the poles line up better with wider tremolo bridges. Tonally they are no different. However their pole spacing is different to ensure that neither of the E strings experience string balance problems due to being too far away from a pole piece.

Ok, the axe in question is 1999 MIA Lonestar strat with a the stock bridge? Since this is not a Floyd like bridge, should I go for TB-10?
 
Re: SH-10 vs TB-10

I find that when playing with gain, even when the poles are outside of the E strings, the natural compression of gain makes the difference rather small. But when playing clean, it can absolutely be noticeable.
 
Re: SH-10 vs TB-10

The Lonestar Strat came with a PG+ in standard spacing....go figure

Yes, I still have that pup. But I've had invader in it for the past 8 years or so, and I am ready for fullshred. So, I take it SH-10 for lone star strat ? Also, some say invaders are very different once wired parallel, what about fullshreds do some prefer them parallel?
