Pickup Height for MFD Pickups

Post by FenderGuy53 »

The manual says to set the pickup height to 2/64" on the treble side and 4/64" on the bass side, yet I've read another thread here which recommends that the pickup height be 4/64" on the treble side and 6/64" on the bass side.

For the MFD pickups in a 2004 ASAT Special, what is the recommended starting point for pickup height?

Thanks!

Use either one as a starting point. It's one of those adjustments that can easily be changed
if someone wants to hear the difference with the pickups a little closer or a little further from the strings.

Hope this helps.
