DaHooomie Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I noticed that my bridge pickups was kinda in a weird form of a setup, resulting to very silent soung from my G B and e string. This will also be my last attempt to like my bridge pickup. Can Anybody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcelo Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I also read recently that the pole pieces that have the flat screwdriver slot can also be turned to raise each pole-piece in order to match the curvature of the fretboard. I have not tried this yet myself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobv Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I also read recently that the pole pieces that have the flat screwdriver slot can also be turned to raise each pole-piece in order to match the curvature of the fretboard. I have not tried this yet myself though. Sure you can. Back out the B and A screws half a turn and the G and D string polepiece screws a full turn. Leave the slots in a straight line like Gibson does at the factory and you have a stealthy setup. Or zigzag them so you can explain how it was delilberate. It only affects one set of polepieces, since the other coil has slugs fixed under the cover. Seth Lover was quoted as saying the screws are a marketing gimmick and he'd have left them off, so it probably doesn't make a difference. It will, however, satisfy your curiosity and that's okay too. Oh, if you're concerned about the neck pickup tilt you can raise the polepiece screws to compensate for it, again it will make a difference to the person who bothered to do it.
