Hey guys,
I have a Guild Blues 90 that I’ve owned for about 12 years or so. I was looking at doing a little setup overhaul on it, since I have only played it in church on occasion over the years and have never really set it up apart from adjusting the intonation.
From what I’ve read, the two soapbar P90’s in it are Seymour Duncans. I don’t know if they’re antiquity, hot output, or specifically what model they might be. They have a white cover and silver pole pieces, but I know that means nothing. I emailed Guild but haven’t received a response.
Let’s assume for a minute that they are SD P90’s. Does anybody know the “factory” height for the pickups? What’s a good ballpark for how far the pickups should be from the strings? I realize it’s subjective, and can be changed for any number of reasons. But I thought knowing the ballpark of where the factory starts them out might give me a good place to start as opposed to just guessing, since I don’t really have a frame of reference or other guitar to compare it to to know what it “should” sound like.
Thanks!
