grimbeaver Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Morning, can anyone tell me please what the rough distance they have the pickups spaced from the strings on a gibson thunderbird? I know its subjective and differs etc, but just as a rough guide if anyones got one set up bang on that measurement would help me make a start, also do you find that the pickups need to be nearer to the G string than the E to stop a bit of boom or do you have them horizontal. many thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcrow Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 fender P settings are 1/8" from underside E to pole when fretting last fret and similarly for the G...slightly less...1 7/16" you dont go closer but you can err on the higher side you dont want your strings to hit the pups...and if you whack the strings you may have to drop the pups accordingly which blackburn are you in....lancs or west lothian...or neither...i know them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
