al heeley Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Is there any protocol to placement of the bridge puppy? How close can you go and still get a reasonable response, considering the nearer, the harsher but the less amplitude of string oscillations to pick up. Is there a minimum for a gibson-type (24 3/4) neck and a T-O-M style bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammoth guitars Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Gibson LP or SG are about 1-5/8" from the scale point of the top E (at the saddle) to center of pickup (the height screw). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickguard Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Is there a minimum for a gibson-type (24 3/4) neck and a T-O-M style bridge? There is, as Gibson themselves found out --if the pickup is too close, the walls between the cavity and the TOM post might collapse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
