i built my first "black strat" and used a set of Tonerider pups. they are used but sound great, except the top E and A string are really quiet compared to the rest of the strings. i tried pickup height but it dint help. what could be causing this? is it possable to have a bad pickup that only effects 1 or 2 strings volume?

come on, someone has to have seen this before!

thats great! thanks for all the help!

Patience grasshopper.

Sounds to me like you just need to adjust your pickup height. Do a search on the Forum for "Nickel Method".

I didn't Lose my mind, I traded it for this guitar.

If you post in the pickup and accessories forum you might get a quicker answer. A poster named Martian seems to be well versed in this area. Good luck!

thanks, didnt realize there was a pickup forum!!

has anyone ever fiddled with the polepieces?

i dont know. how do you tell? i took the guitar to sam ash anf their tech raised the neck pickup, the low e is better but the a seems a little quiet now! i have ordered a SSl-5, i may try the tonerider bridge in the neck.

I guess I won't help much but I have the same issue on my AmStnd Strat. The G string (ja!) is quiter then the rest, and i couldn't have the pickups and closer.... arrgh! I need help on this too....
