also can be personal preference. It depends on what kind of sound you like. Some guys

like to bury the pickups further in the guitar and have to really play it and let the amp

do more work.

There's a good measurement to use. What you want to do is fret the guitar at the highest

fret and measure from the pole to the bottom of the string. You want it to be about 5/64.

You just want to push that string down and make sure that it's not hitting the pickup

itself. You want to adjust them by using the screw on the side. Usually it's a flathead

screwdriver.

Check it, and perfect. You want to do the same thing on the bridge pickup. Measuring

from the pole to the bottom of the string. So, you're going to do the same thing with

the bridge pickup. Measuring from the pole to the bottom of the string to about 5/64.

That's how you adjust the pickup height on a Gibson Les Paul.
