  • Learned something new about the RR1t today...

    The bridge pickup is trem spaced.

    I should have asked around here before I bought my non-trem Duncan Custom. I still went ahead and put it in and it kills though so I will keep it in there. The nice thing about it is when I'm doing bends on the b and e strings it kind of centers the string over the pole piece and gives the bend a little subtle volume boost.

    My Duncan Parallel Axis Distortion Trembucker lines up perfectly in my RR1T. A few people here have said that both the RR1 and RR1T indeed do have the same pickup spacing.

        So the bridge has an F spaced pickup even though there is no F spacing?

        I'm confused..

          Apparently the fixed bridge is F-spaced.

            A fixed bridge need not be regular spaced. Certain Gibsons that come with either an ABR-1 or Nashville bridge are F Spaced. Gibson "modern" pickups (490T, 498T, 500T - anything ending with a T) are F spaced even though they are fitted to a guitar with a fixed bridge.

              Well, I can state with 100% certainty that the bridge on my 2008 RR1t is f-spaced. The pickup that I removed was the TB-4, not the SH-4 and the SH-5 I put in is not properly spaced for the strings.

              I will correct it when I get around to special ordering a chrome covered jazz/custom set.

                weird because the RR1T that I had, had a normal spaced pickup in the bridge.

                It was made in 2006

                  When I removed the JB from my RR1T, I'm pretty sure it was a standard-spaced SH-4. I sold it to someone on the Duncan Forum, but it did line up fine in my guitar.

                    I noticed that my Kelly Custom (from '93, I bought it used) has a trem-spaced TOM bridge but an SH-6 bridge pickup. The Jackson slip also said SH-6, so it's probably been there since it came from the factory. Maybe the guy who ordered it asked for it. I wonder if all SD models are/were available as trembuckers, though...
