I was just wondering what you guys/gals prefer for your string and pickup height. I usually keep my bridge PUs about 1/16 of an inch from the strings on both sides. For middle and neck PUs, I keep the bass string side 1/8 of an inch away from the strings and the the treble string side 1/16 of an inch away from the strings.
I have another question, too...
What height should I keep my strings to get the best action possible on the fretboard? I like the action I get from the start of the fretboard but when I get down toward the pickups, the strings are pretty far away from the frets and it's pretty hard to play fast and accurately. I'd even go as far as to say that it feel clumsy down there. The last time I checked, the strings were 1/8 of an inch away from the frets. I want to have good action without getting a lot of sting buzz.
I know how to adjust a truss rod, so if I have to do anything like that, it won't be a problem. I think I just have the bridge riding too high.
Any help will be awesome!
Thanks!
