Re: HELP! My Pickups sit up too high and my strings stick to it
You should be able to lower them by adjusting the screws on either side of the pickups...not the ones in the corners, those hold pup rings in place.
You want your bridge pickup raised fairly high and your neck to be a little distance from the strings (i keep mine almost flush with the rings). Experiment until you find the sweet spot.

Yeah, turn the screws counter-clockwise

Yes I tried those two screws but it still seems to rise back up and I try pushing them down and it still doesnt give enough clearance for the strings to vibrate freely(It must be the wiring under the pickups)...I'm thinking I should have purchased the Fender Jag-Stang instead.

Ok, around the pickup up there should be a plastic "ring"(its actually a rectangle) that has 6 screws. 4 of them are larger and are in the corner of the ring. There are two smaller screws in the middle of the sides that are used to adjust the height. Turn them counterclockwise to lower the pickup.

Re: HELP! My Pickups sit up too high and my strings stick to it
Yeah I did that and it didn't work (Adjusting the screws) so I opened it up and cleared the wiring inside and sanded down some of the wood so now its fixed and it sounds great! The tone is fat and powerful I've only had it for one week and I didn't realize it, but this is a kick ass guitar. This is my first electric guitar and all I have to say is screw acoustic (but I'll still play my acoustic) but thanks for your help!

Hmmm. I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I'm glad you got it fixed.
