Description
This 52 mm humbucker slug bobbin is designed for F-spaced / wide-spaced humbucker pickups and is intended for the non-adjustable (slug) coil.
The 52 mm pole spacing aligns correctly with wider string spacing commonly found on tremolo-equipped guitars, modern bridges, and certain bass-side bridge positions. Proper spacing ensures accurate string alignment, even magnetic response, and consistent output across the pickup.
Molded in classic cream, this bobbin is suitable for new pickup builds, rewinds, restorations, and custom humbucker assemblies, including vintage-inspired and modern designs.
