Hi there,
for a Warmoth partscaster with superwide neck and vintage wide bridge I'm searching humbucker sized low output (PAF like) pickups for blues playing:
Neck pickup for 2-1/16" (52,4 mm) string spacing.
Bridge pickup for 2-7/32" (56,4 mm) string spacing.
My first search wasn't very successful:
I tried an F-spaced DiMarzio humbucker for the neck. But as all DiMarzio F-spaced humbuckers it pole distance is only 2.01" (51 mm), which doesn't look and sound ideal: https://d2emr0qhzqfj88.cloudfront.net/s3fs-public/diagrams/DMHBdim_42.pdf
But there might be some manifactors of handwired humbuckers that will make real F-spaced pickups with 2-1/16" (52,4 mm or 52,6 mm) pole distance.
For the even wider bridge pickup I thought Rail/Blade Humbucker might work. But most of them are very hot and used for hard rock and metall. The only ones I could find were Wilde L90 and JBE Humbucker pickups:
Do you know any other pickups that would fit?
Regards,
Bernd
