My pleasure! I set them that way for more punch on the bass end for blues. Gives power chords a bit more umph as well.

I set them to my ear. B pup for the treble, N pup for the bassier sounds, M pup to balance the others evenly with a nice 'quack' in the 2 & 4 positions. If you're looking for a 'set them at this height for - insert name here - sound', that will never work 'cos each player is different.

You might have included a 'None of the above' choice in your poll, that's what I would have chosen.

It depends on the pickups and what sound I want to get. If the they are factory pickups in the guitar I will check manufacture specs. and set them there then adjust from that point. Newly installed pickups its all about the sound and balancing them to how I want them to sound. Most I think will agree you can strum and adjust the balance by ear to what you want between pickups and angle if any. Most are happy with my setups when doing it that way!!!!!

This is true. My 72 Strat has staggered pole pieces and requires a bit of tweaking.
