Members bluesboy Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 I recently put a JB in the bridge position of my les paul, and I cant raise it up high enough... I usually make the pickup arouind 1/16 of an inch on the treble side (from the bottom of the string when fretted at last fret) and i can't even get it close. My neck pickup (jazz) is much higher in volume, and I have it lowered quite a bit. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 shorter springs?taller pickup ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sordid1 Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 That's odd you can't raise it up enough? Maybe try shorter screws or cutting the springs a little. I have had issues not being able to lower pups enough but not the opposite. JB's I find like to be close to the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brain Becker Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 Cut your springs some, I had the same problem when I put a Duncan Custom in my SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesboy Posted May 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 how much do you think I should cut? What length roughly did you cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
