Trembucker only used in bridge position?

I have a RG Ibanez with a Floyd Rose.
I was going to go with a Trembucker, but what about the bridge? Does that stay standard Humbucker?

This is my first swap, Going with the 59/Hybrid Bridge - Alnico II Pro neck. (I think?)

Thanks!

Measure your strings from E to E. Then confirm the pole spacing options and go with what matches best for you.

I know DiMarzio told me that they offer f-space neck options for some of the Ibanez models out there. Many people consider pole spacing to be as much, or more, of a personal preference. So go with what makes you comfortable.

Trembuckers are most often used in bridge position. But one of my Floydcasters has a PATB-1n trembucker at the neck and it's perfectly OK. And another of my axes has a Fuglybucker in neck position, also trem spaced. Both of them work fine.

I think most conventional trembuckers would work in neck position, as long as you bear in mind that they usually have pretty strong output since they're mostly designed for use at the bridge. But the point is, having your strings perfectly centered over the poles is not as crucial as it might seem.
