Tribute S-500 optimal pickup height

Post by Marek82313 »

Dear All,

what is the factory, or the optimal, pickup height on the S-500? Should the PUs be "flat", or tilted?

Thank you,

Marco

I adjust them to balance with each other ...... what ever it takes do that is how I do it ..... generally the bridge is closest to the strings and the neck is furthest away to balance sound output

Yes, I know it is just a matter of preference, but I changed heights a lot and I am still unsatisfied, so I thought it was better to "reset" and start from scratch.
Thank you all for your help, the link is very useful.
