FAQ’s
How are the pickups attached?
We’re using stainless steel hex standoffs with stainless steel mounting tabs. A short M3 stainless steel hex bolt holds down each of the mounting tabs to secure the pickups in place. This system allows for incredibly easy pickup swapping and adjustments compared to conventional direct mount or pickup ring alternatives. If pickup swapping with imperial spec pickups is desired, any other screw size will also be compatible with the mounting system, as well as long length pickup screws as the frame has hole cutouts for this.
How are adjustments made?
The pickup heights and control covers are adjusted/accessed with the included M3 Allen wrench. We use hex instead of Phillips head as these won’t strip as easy, and as we’re using stainless steel fasteners as they won’t corrode over time.
The truss rod is adjusted with the included rod at the heel. The guitars are setup with 10s prior to sending. Tweaks to the truss rod bow may be required depending on the climate and string gauge you’re using.
