Knightrider7 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Hi Guys & Gals. I have just purchased a Gibson ES 335 Figured 2019 model in cherry, it's a lovely guitar bit can someone tell me why the neck pickup is slanted like a wedge of cheese towards the neck ?. Surely it should be parallel with the strings, to set the pickup heights on any guitar the method is to set the pup with the last fret depressed and measure it from the bottom of the string to the top of the pole pieces. It is not possible to set it from the top of the pole pieces on a humbucker pickup at an angle when the back of the pup is higher than the pole pieces. I have reversed the pick up ring but did I di right or do Gibson do this on purpose or is it a design fault ? HELP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 This comes up regularly....the solution as you found is to reverse the pickup ring. Happy Xmas and NY 2022! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
