How high should Seymour Duncan pickups be?
A good starting point for the distance from the bridge pickup to the strings is 3/32 of an inch. The neck pickup can be set to provide a good output balance when compared to the bridge or to produce a particular tone when used together with the bridge.
Are Strat neck and middle pickups the same?
Neck and middle strat pickups are the same, with the exception of modern instruments where the middle pickup is reversely wound to allow for hum canceling in the 2nd and 4th pickup switch positions. Originally, all 3 pickups were the same, but due to player preference, bridge pickups are now hotter.
Should Pickups be level?

How can I make my guitar pickup louder?
Best to buy a higher output pickup. If you dont want to amplify the single, you can put a separate volume pot on the humbucker and dial it back. To increase punchiness of blade magnet and low-output pickups, I’ve always recommended attaching a powerful bar magnet to the base of the pickup to give it more juice.
What kind of humbucker do I need for a Stratocaster?
The 4-conductor lead wire gives you access to parallel and split wiring options for added versatility. The Little ‘59 bridge model is a single coil sized humbucker that will inject the sound of a Les Paul directly into your Stratocaster. Its medium output and scooped mids will really add depth to your bridge position.
Which pickup do you prefer for your lead guitar?
