Hi, I've had a new SE ZM for a few months now and I'm struggling dialing it in. The bridge pickup has a harsh treble attack that I can't seem to tame. I've played with pickup height, but to get a balanced sound (to my ears) the treble side of the pickup needs to be significantly lower than the base side so it has a big angle.
I'm trying to do the setup with Vol and Tone at 10. I understand I can roll off the tone to cut but I haven't had an issue like this on other guitars. Are the 245 pickups that bright or maybe the Semi-hollow body affecting it?
Before swapping out pickups I was curious what you guys may have done...either mods or tone/volume knob settings?
FYI, I'm mostly playing classic and alternative rock.
Thanks in advance...
