Additionally, how do you measure guitar string spread?
To properly measure string spacing, use an accurate metal ruler to measure from the center of your low E string to the center of the high E string. Or from the B to E string if you have a 7 string guitar……Or from the F# to E string if you have an 8 string guitar….. You get the idea!
Moreover, what is Bridge pole 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.
Keeping this in view, 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.
