Description
This 49.2 mm humbucker slug bobbin is designed for vintage-spaced humbucker pickups and is intended for the non-adjustable (slug) coil.
The 49.2 mm pole spacing reflects traditional PAF-era humbucker spacing, commonly found on vintage-style guitars and historically accurate reproductions. Using the correct spacing ensures proper string alignment, even magnetic response, and authentic vintage performance.
