What spacing for Tele HB bridge?

[Rich_S]

I've been looking around for a used 59b for my Schecter PT and the question has arisen: do I need a normal 59, or trem-spaced?

The guitar has a modern-style, 6-saddle HB bridge, like this here one.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Is the string spacing wider than 2"? If it's any wider than 2", you should go with a trembucker. If it's 2" or less, go with a traditional humbucker.

Hmmm... guess I'll have to find that bridge and measure it. Moving sux....

I guess you could order a CS '59 with dual blade poles if you're really that lazy.

It's not laziness - or the measuring. It's finding the damn thing. I repeat... moving sux.
