I have a 1970s high end Japanese guitar with OEM DiMarzio pickups. I am guessing back then humbuckers were all 48 to 49mm and single coils 50 to 52mm.
My guitar has a hard tail string through back like a hard tail fixed bridge strat. Strings over the bridge pickup are about 52.5mm yet it's got 48mm spaced bridge humbucker.
Having swapped 50mm for 52mm out on a strat and could hear no difference I don't think there is any discernible difference unless you are a guitar playing bat.
But I think I might swap these pickups out, question is do get f spaced bridge or not? It seems to bump the price up buying individual pickups as opposed to a matched set for most brands (especially Seymour Duncan's, I can save up to £50 not going for a trembucker with the matched set offers)
What do guys here think?
