  • how much will this affect the sound of the pickups? Neck pickup issue

    On my ESP EC-1000 the neck pickup is not parallel to the strings due to the way the body was carved. You should be able to see it in the pictures. My question is, how much is this going to affect the way the pickup sounds because one coil is closer to the strings than the other?

      It should be fine. If it is a problem then you can always put some foam underneath the pickup.

          Not a big deal, but I didn't like it in my Paul, so I too did the foam trick.
