Hi,
Just put a slightly lighter string set on my new(ish) Newark St. Starfire 12 string, and have done a set up accordingly.
One question regarding neck (LB-1) pickup height. The pickup is installed following the contour of the body meaning that the pickup pole screws lean down towards the neck, and the pickup is not parallel to the strings. Where should the pickup height measurement be taken, at the pole piece screws or at the leading edge of the pickup?
Is it possible and would it be advantageous to get the neck pickup to sit parallel to the strings as the neck pickup does?
Cheers.......Brian
