for the bridge pickup its clear... set to around 2/3mm and adjust to taste.
normally i then adjust the neck pickup height to give a good volume balance with the bridge. usually the pole pieces are a bit further away from the strings than at the bridge.
this is all fine, but of course theres a problem.
the guitar in question has P90s and theres no overall pickup height adjustment, just for each pole. i need to add hard spacing between the pickup to the body, and i want to get this approximately correct for a good overall adjustment.
so now the question: how close to the strings would be a good starting place for the neck pickup?
perhaps someone could measure their guitar, or maybe has an idea anyway? i need something a bit more scientific than "a bit further away than the bridge pickup" ;)
obviously i should have measured this before i took the pickups off, but i didn't think of that :roll:
thanks alot for any suggestion! i dont want to play around pulling the strings on and off and trying different spacers.
