Pickup angle...

Jimmy5491

Erm...is the bridge pick-up supposed to be slanted slightly at an angle towards the neck? Because all the pictures I have seen look like the bridge pick-up is flat just like the neck pick-up. If this isn't right, how do I fix it?

thanks in advance.

yeah we really need pics of this. if it's been installed wonky (hard to imagine) you'd have to route the body and get a new pickguard. if some random burk has done it like that because they fancy themself a bit mechanically-inclined, then you'll just need a new pickguard.

perhaps the foam underneath it isn't as it should be

If its slightly tilted it wouldnt affect performance anyway but i suppose its one of them small irritating things that once noticed play on your mind.

Do you mean the pickup is slanted like a strat bridge pup, or do you mean it is leaning to one side? 😕 If the latter,(which i think is what you mean) i'll go with Rick and say the foam may need replacing under the pickup.

haha, the old story of "the princess and the pea" being very appropriate in this case

Lol yes, it does play on my mind slightly, as things like that get to me, its like how my trem adjustment screw has a bit of thread wear through lots of adjustment, that annoys me too xD. But no, it doesn't effect performance in anyway, as it is only a very slight angle. Thanks for the help...again.
