My new to me 2014 M-75 gold top arrived yesterday. It has barely been played with plastic film still on the pickguard. It's strung with 9 gauge strings so it will need some setup work once I install my preferred 11-48 set. I have read GAD's fantastic write up on his gold top and although I've owned mine less than 24 hours I agree with everything he writes. I do have an issue with the pickup height. IMO, the bridge pup needs to be lowered. It sits too close to the strings and consequently the output is quite a bit higher than the neck. Knowing what GAD reported upon digging into his guitar I realize this won't be a simple fix. I will take it apart in the next couple of days and investigate. Any advise or input on this issue is welcome!
