Re: pickup height for single coils?
Strats, especially standard ones with regular single coils can be a difficult guitar to play if you're used to 'buckers. They traditionally do have significantly less output and you sometimes really need to wrestle with them. But that can really be a good thing because once you got 'em whipped, they'll really sing for you. A single coil that's been whipped to the point of "crying uncle" will sing, crunch, wail, and deliver in a raw way that a 'bucker never will. They can be difficult but the reward is great. Don't be surprised if you need to make adjustments to your amp and effects setting to accommodate the different guitars too.
