The Pickup Place / Starting points for Super D and PAF ?
« on: June 21, 2020, 01:34:28 AM »
So.  I have this super cool Westbury standard ..one of the original ones.  But modified extensively.  Never seen anything like it! But anyway.   It has a super d in the bridge and paf in the neck.  I know, it is entirely a subjective thing "use my ears" and so on.  And I have. I've also read all the blogs from stewmac,, Seymour Duncan etc. I have a handle on the conventional wisdom.    But knowledge ain't a bad thing. What I have *not* seen is the exact specs from super d/paf owners regarding their pickup height.  Not to copy them ofc.  Nothing like that.    If I use dimarzios suggested baseline,well it seems to be too close.  So where is a good starting point for the super d, height wise?  Where do you have yours set? Is it uniform or tilted(bass/treble) ? Also, same re paf (neck) and lastly, what is your pickup height setting procedure/best praxis? Thank y'all! (Pics linked)https://m.imgur.com/a/DzbBs8N
