Trembucker in the neck. Good or bad?

[PunkPlayer86]

If a Fender strat HH pickguard has the room for a trembucker, should I put one there? After all, the stock single coils have wider poles like a trembucker, so what could it hurt?

absolutely nothing. A Pearly Gates TB would kick A-Double-S in the neck slot.

Why use a Pearly Gates TB in the neck when you could use a non-F spaced version? A Gibson spaced pickup works better in the neck position.

As long as your nut width is 1 11/16 (43mm) or larger, it is OK.
