deepblue Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 A question to the masses... Does anyone know why the pickups on a USA Lester rise above the pickup rings while the historics pups are flush with the ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 You mean from the factory or what..............I don't think it means anything.........I adjust back in forth with any new guitar .....as with all the other factors also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Could be from a difference in neck angle, which varied somewhat, especially in the early years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FennRx Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 for one the rings are taller on historics. but it could be factory/store setup. lower/raise them as you wish for tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 There are different ring heights to choose from, I don't know the particulars of variations over the years. Your ideal pickup height is what it is (within 1/4"), since the neck angle of incidence is not adjustable. If the rings don't suit you, get some different ones.

Lowdown Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 A question to the masses... Does anyone know why the pickups on a USA Lester rise above the pickup rings while the historics pups are flush with the ring? Just the way they come from the factory. I ALWAYS set the pups and anything else to suit me and my sound/playing. It's just a preconceived guide only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
