 Same as any other electric guitar. The closer the PU is to the strings, the higher the output. If it is too close, the output my distort and and the magnets may interfere with the motion of the string, adding non-musical harmonics. If it is too far away the output can sound weak and you'll be somewhat more susceptible to electrical noise. Trust your ears and adjust.     |

| "Listen to the sound of the pickup. The pickups sound is directly related to it's height from the strings. Pickups sound "hotter" when they are close to the strings. A higher pickup will scream, while a lower pickup will sing; but with too much adjustment the screaming pickup will sound noisy, and the singing will become dull. The best sound will be somewhere in the middle, with a high output that won't sacrifice tone. (Note: When adjusting guitars with humbucker pickups, set the neck pick up a little lower. Neck pickups receive more vibrations during play, so they tend to have more natural response than the bridge pickup, which is further from the source of the vibration)" I've got this sugestin from pick up maker.
