Resigned to Electrifying my '52 L-7 Acoustic - P/U suggestions, pls.

[Dennis D]

The current induced in the pickup due to spring vibration is so tiny that the heat generated is undetectable.

Here's 2 photo's showing the marks...They look like a group of pinholes, about the same size and shape as a peanut shell.
No big deal, just always wondered.....

Thought so. Thanks for posting that photo. I'm assuming that's the same guitar & p/u as your earlier post ? If so am I right - there's actually some daylight under that p/u ?

Yes and Yes

...but then from this angle it looks like there's another 1/8-1/16 of an inch to be gained by resting the p/u on the top and then adjusting the side brackets accordingly, or ??
And - - do any of these p/u's generate heat ? I have some odd marks on the top of my guitar from where the McCarty would've rested - or may have rested.
Thanks for all the help.

Yes, a thick 1/16th under the high E side;
1/8" from the pickup to the bottom of the G string.
Pickup is mounted directly to the pickguard. It totally floats. Nothing underneath it.
My pickguard is about 1/4" below the little E string. It all works for me.
I don't think this one generates heat,
that I've noticed.
