Single coil pickups? i REALLY need help!

Question

I'm recently decided to take apart my crappy old guitar and redo it. i am going to germany tonight and plan to buy everything i need there. i need to know: are all single coil pickups the same size and width? please help!

Answer 1

i dont think they would be, depending on who makes them. Take the old ones with you.

Answer 2

In essence more or less yes all the same size but they are produced differently to satisfy the customer, telecaster pick ups more suited to R&B and C&W the strat more suited to rock but then again its all about mixing your own to suit your needs.  Nobody said you cant stick a Gibson into a fender.  I had a strat some years ago and stuck floyd rose strings on it, it sounded like a cat being strangled a mate of mine hooked it to his marshall and played smoke on the water without a mistake.  Its down to the playing man its all about the playing.
