Looking at the spacing of the pole pieces on trem spaced pickups at 2.07 inches versus traditional spaced at 1.93 inches, my sz string spacing which has a fixed bridge measures 2and1/16 inches, a lot closer to the trem spaced pickup. Would I be better off with the trem spaced or traditional spaced pickup?

I'd go for the pickup with the wider Trembucker spacing. Lew

Its interesting that quot;hardtailquot; doesn't always equal quot;narrowquot;. My Patriot has a 2 3/16quot; hardtail, compared to my Strat's 2 1/16quot; tremolo.

The Patriots strings would lie outside a trembuckers pole pieces.

(One of the reasons I'm looking for a cheap-ish replacement bridge.)

Measure form e-string to e.string. If the strings are 2quot; apart or farther (center to center), go with a Trembucker. If it´s less, use a standard bridge model

i use a wilkinson hardtail bridge that is spaced about 2 1/8quot; so i use a trem spaced pearly gates and it matches up well. no dropouts at all
