The guitar is a MIA Deluxe Ash Tele, using stock Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups. (Yes, Light, I know you hate 'em!
)
First, and stupidest question: The bridge pickup has three screws - one on each side, and one centered on the neck side of the pickup. Are all three of these screws used for height adjustment?
Second, and only slightly less stupid question: The setup guide from Fender contains the information below as a starting point. Do "Bass Side" and Treble Side" refer to measurements underneath the 6th and 1st strings, respectively, or to the neck and bridge pickup positions? Put another way, are both pickups supposed to be closer to the 1st string than the 6th, or is the neck ("bass") pickup supposed to be farther away from the stings than the bridge ("treble") pickup?
Call me an idiot if you must!
