Can anyone explain the dimensions/differences on the following? Sorry if the question has been asked before. If so, I haven’t seen it.
Backgrounder: I know what a trembucker is. If I recall correctly however, Duncan trembucker have wider bobbins and pole pieces, whereas DiMarzio uses the same bobbin width for their trembucker (F-spaced) pickups – only the pole pieces are spaced farther apart.
* Humbucker: looks like it’s cut for a pickup with a cover.
* Fat Humbucker: looks like it’s cut for a pickup without a cover but the term “fat” is confusing.
* Trembucker: also looks like it’s cut for a pickup with a cover but I didn’t know anyone made trembuckers w/ covers.
* Fat Trembucker: ??? See “Fat Humbucker” above.
My next Strat will be HSS but I’m not sure on exactly which bridge pickup yet. Definitely a trembucker/F-spaced if available (no mounting ring). Is there a “safe” one-hole-fits-all size?
Thanks all.
