mikevirok Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm building my first custom guitar as you read this and I need some help in regards to string alignment above my pickups. On a standard humbucker (in my case a PRS McCarty) is it alright for the strings to align slightly to the right of each slug? The high E is almost completely aside from the matching slug.... how bad is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acousticraft Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I would imagine the pickup might sound a bit weak if they are to far off string centres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 The magnetic fields aren't laser-precise and localized to only the area of the slugs, so you're probably going to be fine. If you can fix it, though, fixing it to ensure optimal placement is a better choice. How difficult would it be to address the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
