Post by: Git-art-ist on November 30, 2005, 02:26:49 AM

hi im just wondering how high i should adjust my miracle man in the bridge position. can somone post photos of theirs?  at first i had it kinda low and it sounded clear and good,but it wasnt that easy to do harmonics. i then ajusted it pretty high and it was really easy to do harmonics. but wasnt that clear.

There's no right or wrong, you have to balance out the clrity and volume/harmonics by ear, each guitar seems to respond differently!

Pics won't help much, I'm afraid.
Each pickup is slightly different so each one will have it's sweet spot.

Start by setting the pickup as close to the strings as possible. You'll get some overtones on the higher frets. Proceed by screwing down the pickups untill the overtones are gone. After that, experiment a little with the height; a little lower, a little higher and you'll eventually find the sweet spot.

Good luck!
