I just got a Hot Rod a week ago and love it but I want to adjust pup height and would like a ballpark height where to start. The pups on the Hot Rod aren't included on Fender's Support setup section.

Another thing is this guitar doesn't have a serial number printed on the neck. Is the serial number the one stamped on the bridge? One last thing that bothers me, why would Fender use a plain neckplate on this guitar instead of one with the logo??????? :roll:

the last two questions, serial number & neckplate. Same answer for both- its a vintage guitar, in otherwords it is manufactured as true to the original as possible. The original '52 did not have serial no in the headstock and also had a plain neck plate.
For your purpose the serial no should be printed on the body and neck but is only visible when the 2 are taken apart.
By the way, is it an American Vintage Reissue '52 Tele that you have? If so the above applies.

Thanks for the reply.
It's the 52 Hot Rod, this one right here...

I don't have any complaints really and the guitar is wonderful but had doubts about those two things.

As far as the pups go, I've adjusted them by ear and am pleased with the results but was curious to see Fender's or other users specs.

Thanks,
