Hi,

are there different string spacings at the neck position pickup between 1-5/8 and 1-11/16 ans 1-3/4 nuts with a standart Tele bridge (3 saddle)
Maybe you can measure and tell me the string spacing?

Sorry, my english is not that good as I am from Germany

Thanks
Stephan
 
I doubt you would be able to notice, as 1/16 is only 1.5875mm difference at the nut, or 0.26mm between each string.
By the time you reach the neck (approximately around where fret 26 would live) the spread would be very close to whatever bridge spacing you had.
 
HI Stephan,

I've had necks with 1-11/16 and 1-3/4 nuts on the same guitar.  Once it got to the neck pickup, the difference was not noticeable. - at least to me.

 
Thanks guys,

can you measure the string spacing aprox. at the position where the neck pickup is located?
Thinking about a P-90 with rod magnets but it only has a string spacing between E and e from 1.9" (48mm) seems to be very narrow. I think 50mm is normal for a Gibson style pickup and 53mm is f-spaced?
not shure if its ok with 48mm with the neck pos. and a classic tele bridge. What do you think? I would not care if it is a normal humbucker with magnet bar but I think with rod magnet it is alittle diffrent.

Bye Stephan
