Swingster Pickup and String Heights

Recommended Posts

I went through the site and could not find any info on a Swingster setup however Tech emailed this to me. I thought those of you with a Swingster might be able to use this info.

 

Pickup Height - Measured from top of pickup to bottom of the string when string is

 

depressed at the last fret. Factory Spec:

 

Neck (rhythm) pickup: 3/32"

 

Bridge (treble) pickup: 1/16"

 

 

Action - The distance that a string must be depressed before it meets the fret. Measured

 

from top of fret to bottom of string.

 

12th fret, treble side: 3/64"

 

12th fret, bass side: 5/64"

 

1st fret treble side: 1/64"

 

1st fret bass side: 2/64"

 

 

I also asked him if the Swingster came with Gibson Brightwire 10”2 OEM and the answer was yes.

I have some 11’s on mine and I’m going to change and try the Brightwire 10”s. The 11’s I have on it are a little muddy.

 

I hope this is helpful to you Swingster owners I know mine sounded better with the factory spec for the pickup heights.
