High E string pole adjustment

Post by CVS54 »

I want to adjust the pole piece heights upward (to get more volume) on both pickups underneath the high E string as I recently raised the action on this string. Assuming that I am working on the guitar from the angle shown in this picture, do I turn the wrench clockwise or counterclockwise to increase the height? I only want to make a very small adjustment. My eyes are not very good even with glasses....

Thanks for your help & just love the guitar, which I purchased new a few months ago!

Counter-clockwise to raise the pole piece closer to the string.

Hope this helps.
