Pickup heights
I had never adjusted the pickups on my guitars before & thought that I'd give it a try. It makes a big change. I was wondering what were the preferences of the other fretters.
This is for my Godin radiator which is a chambered rock maple guitar with two Godin designed low noise single coils. The word is that the pups were designed to be like Rickenbacker toaster pups. Anyway, I am looking for a warm jazz sound from the neck & a twangy tele sound from the bridge. Suggestions? Should the two pickups be the same distance from the strings? Should I angle the pups towards the high strings? I'm looking around on the net for suggestions & in the meantime just twiddling to my hearts delight, but it would be nice to get fretters opinions on this.
BTW, the Radiator doesn't have a selecter, rather it has independent volume knobs for each pup so that you can mix the two pups in infinitey many ways.
Thanks!
