My question is how high are the Z-coils supposed to be set up?
What are the factory specs?
What have you guys found that works best for you?
When I recieved it the pickups were between 8/64" to 10/64" on the treble side fretted at the 22nd fret. Is that a bit low? I'm not sure how these magnetic field pickups work.
Thanks guys

This post will expose my ignorance, but how exactly do you adjust the pickup height? Is it simply a matter of 'loosening' the screws which fix the PUs to the guitar body? Is there a spring under the PU cover and between the PU and the guitar body which will raise the PU towards the strings when the screws are loosened? And, how much 'loosening' will the screws allow before the PU just 'pops' completely off the body? Sorry if this is an 'idiot question'. The User Manual is great on details of recommended PU height, etc., but it assumes the User knows how to adjust the PU height with confidence.

P.S. I have a Legacy with single coil and humbucker pickups, and two ASATs with the MFD pickups. Is adjustment the same for both types? Ta.
