Could these be pickups that you install in acoustic guitars? Some sort of piezo system? Can we a link to what you're talking about?

A bit of a guess: Fender spacing -- for use at the bridge of a Fender. Polepieces would be further apart than for a Gibby

There is something down in the deep recesses of the morass that is my brain, that say Greg is spot on.

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Dangit all, I'm always trying to make things too complex. You're very likely right, Greg. D'oh!

Gnease has it dead on. Not only is the scale length different for Gibson guitars and Fender strats and teles, but the distance between the strings is slightly different too. If you try to take a Gibson pickup and drop it in a strat, the poles for the magnets won't line up, and it doesn't work quite right.

Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.
