Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 19, 2011 Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 Welp, just purchased a warmoth 1.75" nut width neck. I've got a Dimarzio EJ Custom in the bridge position of the Small Headstock Hwy. 1 Strat I plan on swapping necks with..... The EJ custom is gibson spacing, I've just been dealing with the poor string alignment. With the 1.75" nut width, I figure it's best to update the bridge pickup to something properly spaced. Do they make wider spaced than F-spaced? What are your suggestions for a F-spaced humbucker? I guess I like PAF type vintage style pickups....the EJ Custom is nice (I know they make an F spaced version, anything similar?).......but I'd be open to medium output as well....(I've got Texas Specials singles in the neck and middle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frankie pajamas Posted December 19, 2011 Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 I've always enjoyed the SD Pearly Gates, and I believe it comes F spaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mdintx Posted December 19, 2011 Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 I've got a '59 Trembucker bought used off ebay for $46. Sounds great! Really well balanced for a bridge pickup. The treble is bright, as expected, but the bass is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 Do you think those will blend fairly decently with the Texas Specials? Are Texas Specials even considered good anymore? LOL I like them, but it's hard to find a matching HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 36th PAF Air Norton This is what I was thinking about........I don't really play heavy music and love nice humbucker clean tones. Seem fairly cheap, and good sounding....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if you're looking for a neck pickup you'll definitely want something F-spaced with a nut that wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
