Great article Craig, I started my pickup height Exodus around 12 years wit Les Pauls and BurstBuckers, finding that they were incredibly sweet pickups when lowered to level with the pickup ring at the neck and just below on the bridge, since then I've treated every pickup like an individual and tuned them for myself and sat with customers carefully working up and down with their heights and their setup. Not one customer has ever gone back to so called manufacturers recommended heights, with nearly all humbucker and single coil players setting their pickups low

Dreadnought.....not dreadnaught

The Trev Wilkinson period Vintage guitars just keep getting better and better some Chinese, some Indonesian. I have a cream SC with gold hardware, utterly lovely guitar and the stock pickups are as good as the best Epi pickups This is the same one I have [video=youtube_share;r73l6k67mcg]

Feline Guitars are about the longest surviving I know

Ebony or elephant ivory handles?

Banned? You're lucky! I'd have you staked out in the sun, smothered in honey and killer ants and let the ravens peck your eyes out for asking such heinous questions

You like that combo, try swapping the magnets from one to the other.....BOOM

Wow, never knew that, most people I know rely on playing technique and old fashioned shit like that

SUV, thats one o them new fangled Riussian jets innit?

Sadly the god that used 50s technology piss all over most of the individuals you refer to, even Steve Vai can't keep up with a cello

Up and down, but, easier to get back up than stay down:)

Great to see you back Dan

I've had maybe 30 customers come to me with "bent necks". Destring, completely back off truss rod, leave in a cool, humid, dark room for 5-7 days, restring, leave overnight adjust truss rod and hey presto, guitar is fine.

I would to be on the safe side

Why bother with pickups?
