Title: Decided on pickups, just a few Questions!
Post by: AngusYoung01 on September 14, 2007, 04:41:33 PM

Ok, so I'm opting for a Miracle Man calibrated set for my SG, with 4 conductor wiring and two 500K push/push pots, so I can split each pickup individually.

So, just a few questions (I don't really want to bother Tim!)

1. Do they come with wiring diagrams?
2. What Leg do I want? Long or Short? (Its for an SG)
3. Is there any way I can order a 50mm 'bucker for the neck, 53mm for the bridge?

If I get anything else I'll ask  :wink:

1. Yep, sort of, although a diagram for what you want is readily available on the internet
2. Most likely short, though I'd be surprised if long didn't fit.
3. That's what you get if you order 53mm spacing - all necks are 50mm anyway, you're only specifying the spacing of the bridge pickup.

ummm, thanks :)

It's the little L shaped bracket on each side of the bottom of the pickup that the height adjustment screw goes through.

Only rarely (if the pickup sits VERY proud of the scratchplate/bezel) will you struggle to get a short leg pickup in (& even then, you can just cut down the spring a bit).   You might have difficulty with a long leg if the pickup rout is very shallow or if it sits too low in the body that there's not enough tension in the spring to hold it steady...

Sweet, cheers again!

And I took your (and Tims  :P )advice on the MM neck ;)
