Recommended PRS pickup height

[Jaybird]

Hey guys I have these Dragon pickups that sounds AMAZING in my se cu24 but I'm wondering how much does pick up height affect tone.

I think mine are 1/32" lower than PRS has here: http://prsguitars.com/csc/setup.html

Height makes a huge difference to tone. If you like what you have now, measure the height from set location so that you can put it back if you play with them. Then go crazy.

This is worthy of a +1000. :biggrin:

Height does indeed make a big difference. I play fairly loud with my Archon around 10:00. I usually start with the recommended PRS height. Usually that's too high & I'll lower the bridge pickup to the point that it won't feedback uncontrollably. Then match the neck height to that. If you're not playing super loud you can get away with higher.
