Which JB for a strat

[firestanggt]

Hi all.
I am planning to replacing the stock bridge humbucker in my mex strat with a JB. I purchased a JB with the normal humbucker spacing but it has narrower then stock pole spacing. So now I'm wondering if I need the trembucker version instead since a mex strat has a wider spacing then an american strat.. Has anyone run into this before? If anyone out there has a trembucker and could measure the string spacing for me, that would be great.

thanks

All this Trembucker stuff is purely cosmetics. It does not affect the sound.

If the poles aren't under the strings tho, wouldn't that effect the sound?

Not really, the difference is so, so, so small that no one even notices it. If you already have the normal JB, I would't worry about it. It will still sound the same as a Tremspaced JB.
