Are the Pearly Gates potted?

Are the Pearly Gates (SH-PG1) wax potted?
Also, I'm a strat guy now with a SG like guitar - how do I set the pickup height on humbuckers on this guitar?
Thanks,
-Bob

Also, since I'm been a Strat guy, I know how to change pickups on a pickguard - do I have to buy anything special to mount them on this guitar: http://www.daisyrock.com/products/electric/stardust-elite-series/stardust-elite-classic?sku=14662

Yes they are potted. There are two side screws for adjusting height just like a single coil.

I believe they are yes. Wiring diagram says between 1/8" and 1/16". Where ever in that range you think it sounds best.

Start with the treble side at 3/32 and the bass side at 4/32 (1/16). Adjust from that point.

yes they are potted. For pickup height use your ears.

If I remember correctly, all Seymour Duncan humbuckers are potted with the exception of Seth Lovers and Antiquities.

For pickup height I usually start at a medium height, and decide whether to go higher or lower. Usually I leave it or go a little bit lower, then raise the screw pole pieces.

Oh yeah I almost forgot!

You need to swap the Alnico 2 to an Alnico 8! Alnico 2 is the suxors bro ALNICO 8 IS BETTER THAN LIFE!

At least that is how some people here feel/post.
