Trembuckers w/ Covers?

[rinse_master]

I'm finally gonna get some Duncans for my LP Studio (JB & Jazz)

I measured the string spread and I need a Trembucker (it was just over 51mm)

Can I still get it with a cover?, as I would prefer this to keep stock look.

There was talk on the board recently about the possibility of having covered trembuckers from SD. I'm not sure though. Maybe Evan will enlighten us.

I hope so, it took me long enough debating over covered/uncovered...

If not I could have a Jazz w/cover in the neck & a zebra JB trembucker, would look a little odd i suppose but different...

:laugh: I do the same thing on my Yamaha AES, Nickel covered 59/black Carvin H22b.

Haha, I thought it would look kinda Jimmy Page, but different (Zebra), I might do that anyway....

Hmmm.....

While Evan is digging his way through many, many emails, I'll let you know that we do indeed have nickel-silver & gold covered Trembuckers now. :smoker: :cool3:
It's a very recent thing so don't feel like you've been left out.

How much are those going to cost?

i dont think pickups on any les pauls need trem spacing do they?

Some Gibsons do come with a wider than standard tune-o-matic, necessitating a wider than standard humbucker.

Kellie, Thank you very much for your post. Do you happen to know if the trembucker covers can be purchased seperate from buying a pickup?

I havent seen one unless gibson screwed up on notching the saddles. The only tuneomatic style bridges I have seen that require trem spacing are usually on forigen made guitars.

Did the strings not line up with the pole pieces on the factory pickups?

Re: Trembuckers w/ Covers?

My Jackson DR-6 has a tune-o-matic bridge, and it requires a Dimarzio F-spaced pickup for the pole pieces to line-up exactly. Standard Duncan or Dimarzio would not line up and trembucker Duncan wouldn't line up either, so the only one that did was a dimarzio F-spaced.

My 1994 and 2004 les pauls both have tremspaced pickups and line up perfect. I would like a brushed chrome cover. Do they make these??????

That's a relief!!!, for a minute I thought I was gonna have to re-think the whole plan...

Theodie - My LP spacing is just a fraction over 51mm, and AFAIK a Trembucker is 52mm and a Std HB 49mm, so a TB would be the best fit, I've heard it mentioned before that on more recent guitars Gibson use Tremspaced p/u's / bridges, can't think why though?...
