Pickup to string distance on Mustang
I built a Mustang with a Jaguar Tremelo system. Im maxing out on the pickup height and its still pretty far from the strings on the bridge pickup. The set up seems right with a good break angle and bridge height. Ive tried a shim in the neck pocket closer to the neck then the body but still it sets up pretty high. Was thinking about routing out the neck pocket a little deeper but was wondering what most people on their regular Mustangs what the distance is from the pickup to strings. On my 69 Reissue when set up to have full use of the trem the bridge is pretty high on that too and the distance is pretty far to.
