Here is an easy way you can measure the distance between poles and string spacing. Use a good pair of calipers (dial calipers work best for me) and measure (center to center) the 1st pole to the 6th pole for guitars with 6 strings and 1st to 4th pole for a 4 string bass. If you have an instrument with more strings you can follow the example below.
