The Bill Lawrence "Tempered"
Pole Piece Spacing
|
| One of the major problems with pickups has been pole piece
spacings that didn't line up well with the strings. With all the different
size bridges used today, it would take too many different spacings to accomodate
every guitar on the market. Becky and I attempted to provide this service
for almost a year now until we were overwhelmed with phone calls and measurement
errors that required still more phone calls to remedy! To solve the
problem, I completed a series of calculations to determine a set
of three spacings that would be vitually universal for
the widest variety of guitars. The result is "The
Bill Lawrence Tempered Pole Piece Spacing"
-- a replacement
set that can accomodate most guitars at a maximum .020" off center.
This is less than half the diameter of the low E string, virtually undetectable.
