emg pickup height
Hey, I know you can keep emgs as close to the strings as possible, but how close do you guys keep yours to the strings? Thanks in advance

the same height as all of my pickups, I have yet to measure that.

I get great results though.

hah well i keep mine 1/16 from the bottom of the string to the top of the pickup i dont know how that compares to everybody else though...mine looks pretty close, i don't know if its too close

Curt Daddy

I usually keep it about 1/6 inch from the strings.

I measured today.

With EMGs I never noticed a difference in tone with different hights, unlike passives. So, I don't think it really matters.

i like my emg's to touch my strings , its creates brootalz

strings aren't suppose to be too close to the pick ups, it interferes with the string's magnetic field

ah, the beauty of the electro-magnetic generatorz. their magnetic field is much lower than that of passive pickups allowing you to set it as close to the strings as you want without noticeable interference.. says so in their tech sheets!
