Hello,
I just purchased my first G&L guitar. It's a sunburst Legacy Tribute with 3 single coils. I would like to put a single coil sized humbucker in the bridge and am confused about what pickups will work with the G&L string spacing. I know rails will work but I am looking to put in a JB Jr or a little 59 with a coil split. Will those pickups work with the legacy tribute spacing? I have been scouring the internet for days but cannot come up with a definitive answer. Thanks for any help!

The JB Jr. should drop-in; the magnetic field on the single-sized humbuckers is strong enough the polepiece spacing won’t cause issues.
