Humbucker pickup widths?

Question

Posted

I have noticed that some pickups (Schallers and Duncans) don't fit into the direct mount shredder bodies. The seem to me a millimeter or two too wide to fit into the factory routing.

Are DiMarzios skinnier (long edge to long edge)?

What fits these routes?

Thanks

Very interesting. I just discovered myself that covered Duncans will not fit into the routes in an '82 Special that had stock Dimarzios, and I'm wondering if this is a universal problem. Do Dimarzios have a smaller footprint? Does anyone know if the routes had to be altered when Hamer switched to Duncan?

It gets weirder...

I just got two Trembuckers from Squid Music in Stanton CA. JB and a 59 neck. Middle is a JB Jr.

The Trembuckers dropped right in!

The SH humbuckers and the ESP (Schallers) would not fit.

hm mmmm
