Lowering Pick-Ups

Post by electrofaro »

I did a little search, but could not find my answer (so many hits, unbelievable!).

My 360's neck PU is not sitting straight. It's always been like can be seen in the attached picture.

Should I try to correct this?
If so, then how? (Middle screw fixes the PU to the body right?)

My guess is that the mounting screws are not perpendicular to the body causing this slight angle of the pickup. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. There should be enough play in the holes the mounting screws go through on the pickup to allow for shimming the pickup.
