How to wire for a great tone!
|
Golden Age Lipstick Pickups feature waxed poly-coated coil wire wound on Alnico 5 bar magnets, encased in iconic chrome-plated metal tubes. This fully shielded design sized for easy installation in modern guitars. Pickup height adjustment To adjust the height of your pickups, fret a note at your highest fret. Measure between the string and the pickup: you want a gap of about 1/8" at the low E string, and about 3/32" at the high E string. Experiment to find the best output balance between neck and bridge pickups. |
