First time poster.

I own a 63 Country Gent with original filtertrons. Are there any guidelines for setting the hieght of the pole pieces to maximize sound potential? I realize sound can be a subjective thing so I am looking for ballpark settings to at least get started. I read somewhere that the inner row of pole pieces are set as low as they can go for both pickups. Any truth to this?

I appreciate any input you have to offer.

Thanks

Mark

Mark: At the end of the day the adjustment is really all about the sound you hope to achieve. Some pickers have the posts for strings 1, 2, and 3 slightly higher to bring out the treble sound more while others do not. I found with my 6120 that slight changes to the height of the pickup as a whole yielded better results than changing individual pole pieces. Perhaps others will chime in here.
