  1. Hello All, So I bought a Gibson SG 70's Tribute 3 years ago and absolutely love this guitar. I decided recently to give the guitar a full clean, and string change. In doing so I had removed the pickups so that I could clean the pickup rings properly as there was some gunk in the corner where the pickup ring meets the body of the guitar. After putting everything back together I realized that I did not take note of the pickup height before I removed them and so I started down the rabbit hole of adjusting pickup height which then led to threads regarding Pole Piece height. Now I find this all very interesting and I would love to tinkle a bit with this to see what kind of difference it makes to my guitar tone but my real question is this: From all the threads I have been scouring through over the last few hours there seems to be some form of consensus that the humbucking coils do not really need to be adjusted and should be flush with the bobbin. On the Gibson Dirty Finger pickups both the humbucking and string coils are both adjustable and they are also indistinguishable from each other. So I would love to understand firstly, which coil is which (I have attached a picture of the pickups on my guitar. and secondly what the thoughts are with regard to adjusting the humbucking pole piece height on these pickups.

  2. HI All, I am having the same issue where my low E and A strings are tuning sharp. The E string in particular is almost a half a note sharp. I cannot for the life of me find any instructions on how to calibrate this thing and the link given above seems to longer work with a 404 error being shown. I found a YouTube video on how to calibrate the newer Gibson G-Force model but not the Min-e-tune model which I have and those instructions don't seem to work on this model. What is really frustrating is that the Tronical website is very unhelpful and getting contact info for them is also impossible. Seems that you can no longer register an account on their website which is very strange and also slightly concerning. I wonder if they will be around much longer. Any help would be great before I rip out what little hair I have left and throw this thing away. Nick
