    Default Will a trembucker bridge sound ok in a non-floyd?

    I just bought strangegrey's PG set. The bridge is a trembucker. I am putting these in my Santana Se Trem. The bridge doesn't appear overly wide. Is this going to sound ok?

    Trembuckers are recommended for PRS.
    I have a 78 trem in my PRS CU22, perfect.

    Wait, is that because IIRC PRS bridges are 2 1/8"? That's only 1/16" wider than LP string spacing, I would think a regular humbucker would fit OK, what am I missing?

    Or does PRS use the wider Vintage Fender string spacing? (2 5/16 IIRC)
