Yep, farther away vintages it out a bit, closer makes it sound more hi-fi. There is also fine tuning each side of the pup, bass and treble. And then pole piece height and contour. High makes...
If my idea of "warm old style" is similar to what you mean by it, move the pickup as far away from the strings as possible before it becomes too muddy and loses the dynamics. The closer the pickup is...
Hi! I got my guitar back from a general setup. It has a nice string hight now but the guy could not find the source of my rattling noise. Eastman AR372CE. I tightened the three screws that hold...
