hi all
I am new to the forum, so forgive me for posting a tech issue in my first post. I recently acquired a 2008 Custom 24 10 top, second hand. HFS and Vintage Bass, 5 way rotary selector. I wanted this spec, I had a CE24 with these pickups back in the 90s i foolishly sold.
This recent acquisition needed a bit of love, a setup has dramatically improved a few issues. My main issue with this guitar is that position 2 and 4 sound way too crispy and un-natural in the top end. The setup improved this, we changed the pickup height, but there is still too much there, and still a bit of a volume difference between the various positions. I realise some of this may be subjective, but I don't remember it sounding like this on my CE24. I can only think there might be any issue with the selector switch? I am yet to open the back up to check out the wiring, but assumed my setup guy did this and settled on the pickup height adjustment, which did improve things, but didn't solve them to my ear
any thoughts, suggestions? thanks for reading.
