I agree with Gary. You don't really need 2 humbuckers in a CBG, although it looks cool!

If i can get hold of a big enough box im going to go for two humbuckers !
Is there a set distance that they need to be placed apart so they wont interfere with one another?
The distance matters but it is not set. It's based on your scale length. What you're aiming to do is place your pickups where they are least likely to be under a nodal point on the guitar string. For a more detailed discussion on nodal points, see the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_%28physics%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_harmonics
So on a guitar string, the nodal point is a point where the string vibrates the absolute least when plucked. If you end up placing your pup under one of these points, there will be a minimum of signal transmitted and your guitar will sound dead and muted. You want your pup under the anti-node, where you get the maximum movement.
