Perfect vdo on pickup height adjustment

[@Yogi_guitar]

I love you. You are a professional.

[@robinbrown7890]

Thank you. This is the way to do it. Forget the measurement tool….use your ears. All pickups are different. It’s about the sound. You can hear clearly in this demo how correct set up can be done by listening….and how smooth the sound is when switching between bridge and neck when pick up height is correct. Thanks again

[@bobbridges6404]

Well dione sir. As an electrical audio engineer I appreciate a correct explanation and demystifying the many factors involved. In the end ears matter. Great job.

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

Thank you

[@theclancyjack]

This is AWESOMEEEE!! I think my guitar got better sound after I accidently remove my pickup, and than tune it back in the way this video taught me :)

[@noamcarin-bass3210]

Thank you for the detailed explanations and the demonstrations. We need more videos about such important and underrated information like this one.

[@drzainnas]

Thank you for sharing your experiences and skills. One of the best well explained, practical, simplified and thorough approach which certainly make sense and enjoyable to watch. Thank you sir I salute and tip my hat for you. Best regards from England.

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

Thank you very much! All the best

[@engkueing6958]

Great. Now I know how to get uniform volume in the different pick ups using the hearing and not measurement. Thank you.

[@oldmanandguitar]

My perfect tone was achieved by setting the high and low positions with poles in neutral position then raising poles on on a,d,g,b. Based on the difference in volume of different strings. Bridge. High E 1.5mm B 1.5mm G 2.5mm D 2mm A 2.5mm Low E 2.5mm Neck High E 2.5mm B 2.5mm G 3.5mm D 3mm A 3.5mm Low E 3.5mm

[@Fps_Sausage]

Very valuable informations there, thank you very mush 👍👍👍

[@rickycompton2610]

I think this is the best video I’ve seen on pickup height I agree you have to be plugged in and make adjustments , I’ve seen so many videos that say 3/32 on the Low E and 1/16 on the high E , on a humbucker and your right about the pull from the magnets in my Opinion but most people say it doesn’t matter but I think it does.

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

Thank you

[@rockerbuck967]

I agree with you, too. It's been proven on other videos. Myself, I try to find the "middle ground." I find the spot where it just starts to affect the strings, and stop. From there I adjust the amp.

[@bluesman354]

WOW 😲 💡 Light bulb moment. I have the same strat Blk with maple fret board. I hate the sound and never play it. I'm off to try your recommendations. I'll update after. You may have just saved a guitar 😊

[@AntonioGomez-ob9og]

This is wonderful finally I found what I've been looking for this is a great detail information keep it up the good work sir greetings from Boston Massachusetts

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

Thank you very much! Boston is awesome, I absolutely love it. Enjoy your wonderful city ❤️

[@eknight101]

7:42 If you ever see your bandmates making that face at you, that's when you know that you need to make some adjustments. 🤣🤣

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

😀

[@corlissbranden]

Thank you for not telling me where to set them, but why I might want to set them high vs. Low

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

It just sounds different.. high pickup means more output, bigger mids and lows, greater output to hum ratio.

[@antoniorinaldi784]

Good!

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

Thank you very much

[@MohaveJoe]

I spend a lot of time messing with pick up height. I usually start with the middle because that is where I live on my Strat. Going to go back one more time and start with the bridge. Seems like someone else told me that also.

[@jeremiahfiek5495]

There is an EXACT sweet spot that can only be found if both/all pickups are adjusted exactly & each pole piece is adjusted exactly on both pickups. And if you go even a 1/4 turn away from that spot on a pole piece or pickup height screw it will be gone. You can make a cheap guitar scream by fine adjusting it and finding that ONE specific perfect adjustment on everything. If everything is exactly right you'll also feel way more vibration through the body. I've found that the exact spot is right in between where the magnetic pull makes the tone go from thin to muddy. I follow a different order of adjustments and pay no attention to volume difference or winding output.

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

Cool

[@hazymous]

funny enough that sweet spot is exactly at 1/16 on the treble and 1/8 on the bass (measured with imperials hexkeys) fat50pickups+7.25radius+10-38gauge

[@meirsofer8604]

Hi Alon Thks for this job ! Can you tell me how many millimeter there are in which pickups please ?

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

The measurements of the pickups in this video will NOT be correct if using different pickups, different strings, or different tuning...

[@iamanovercomer3253]

On my Fender stratocaster, using 9s , I noticed that the neck pickup was very humming.... I adjusted the pickups. But after watching this I might check out the set up

[@jacksaintjack2844]

What about humbuckers that have individual screws for each string and these screws can be individually raised and lowered? Seems like a lot of variables....too many ....are being introduced into the process.

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

We will publish a video on how to set the height of humbucker pickups soon. Each screw can be raised or lowered to set the volume of a specific string. First set the 1st and 6th string screws, then adjust the rest of the screws to achieve a balanced volume on the whole pickup.

[@realniter]

So what are the actual heights?

[@clemensbohme6577]

way too few people know this

[@DougHinVA]

making faces does NOT help viewers know what to do

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

I'm sorry you feel that way, but it's definitely NOT about the faces it's about the tone. Use your ears and listen ,preferably with good headphones, and if you can't hear the differences, then adjusting the pickups won't matter to you anyway.

[@RobertMurphy-wm3ge]

Dude... Context. He's explaining how to volume match. How did you miss this?

[@Andreas_Straub]

Honestly, this was not very helpful, as you did not show how to determine, if the pickup is set too high ....

[@coilsboutiquepickups]

Actually I did, starting at 7:22.

[@Andreas_Straub]

Well, there was not a single word of explanation about this .... ?@@coilsboutiquepickups
