Pickups

 

The output level of the instrument as well as the quality of the signal
can be affected by pickup height. Pickup height should be adjusted
until the volume of neck and bridge pickups are almost equal with both
volumes wide open. The volume may drop drastically if the pickup height
is too low. As the pickups are magnetic, fret buzzing and distortion may
occur if the pickup is too close to the strings. Use a small screwdriver to
make adjustments to raise or lower the pickup.

* Instruments that have adjustable pole pieces can be adjusted to balance the output of each string.
