The easy way to get this is take your total string spacing and divide it by one less than the amount of strings you have. So if you are measuring a 4-string bass, you would divide by 3. our bridge is a 4-string, with a 57mm total spacing, so our string-to-string spacing is 57mm/3, or about 19mm.
Also to know is, how do you measure bridge string spacing?
One may also ask, how do you measure guitar string spread? To get a rough measurement, take a ruler that measures in millimeters, and measure it between the center of each outer pole (where the low and high E strings pass over). If you want to do it properly, get a proper string spacing rule from Stewmac which locates the correct string positions far more accurately.
Likewise, how do you measure string spacing on a Stratocaster?
How is pickup pole spacing measured?
The overall difference – when you measure from the centers of the 2 outside pole pieces – is roughly 2 to 3 millimeters. In other words, if you measure from the center of the high E pole piece to the center of the Low E pole piece, a Gibson spaced pickup will measure right around 50 millimeters.
What is Gibson string spacing?
A standard Humbucker’s pole pieces are built according to a traditional Gibson string spacing of 1.930″ (49mm), measured from the center of the high E string to the center of the low E string at the bridge pickup location.
What is pickup spacing?
A: F-spacing refers to the widest spacings on full-sized humbucking pickups. For correct string alignment and a balanced output, F-spaced humbuckers should be used in the bridge position on guitars with string spacing at the bridge of 2.1″ or 53mm (or greater).
What is standard string spacing?
They typically go between 1 11/16” to 1 3/4”, but some go to 1 7/8” and 1 23/32”. Even though the differences between these nut widths are incredibly small, your hands can still feel it. It’s important to keep in mind that there’s no set pairing of nut width and string spacing.
