If I want to swap out my 85/15s with a Seymour Duncan pearly gates, do I need the standard humbucker or a trembucker?
 
Either will work but the trem bucker for the bridge pickup will align with the strings better. It looks a bit funny with the narrower string spacing if you have OCD or something. I have a Zach Myers and tried an SD briefly but the spacing kept nagging at me. If I had a trembucker I'd have kept them in. My CU24 also has the wider spacing for the bridge pickup so I guess all the more recent SE's at least, use the wider spaced pickups.
 
being very ocd the idea of the poles not lining up seems difficult for me. I do have three of the same type of pup 2 of which are trembuckers one is not. oddly the one that is not is my favorite one tone wise.....
