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

In 1976, Bill revolutionized the guitar industry with his release of the twin blade L90. Earlier in his career, Bill spent years doing rebuilds of traditional humbuckers for players in his shop that wanted improvements to the response losses created by metal covers and mounting plates, poorly...
