Do you radius your pole pieces?

Re: Do you radius your pole pieces?

I think a lot of people radius them as a starting point and THEN adjust from string to string. Me, I just skip the radius part altogether and adjust according to what each string needs.

That's how I go about it, too. Just season to taste.

In the end it looks a bit radiused, but it varies from axe to axe. For instance, I use 11s on my LP and have the poles for the G string dropped almost as low as the low E because the thick unwound string vibtates much stronger than anything around it.

I just adjust the height of the pickup according to how it reacts to my picking and amp, then leave'em alone.

Agreed.
