OK I am showing my ignorance here again.
When changing the strings on my ES100 I generally give the guitar a good clean. In doing this I take the bridge and tailpiece off and during the cleaning process I inevitably move the position of the hiring and lowering thingies(technical term!)
Generally I restring the guitar and raise the bridge to the point where I am happy with the action and there is no fret buzz. There are no measurements taken during this process and its all guesswork to an extent. Is this what the majority of us do or is there a set height the bridge should be? If so does anybody know where I can get this setup information.
What effect does hiring or lowering the pickups have?
I know I am all questions but maybe we can all learn from the answers.
