I When the fretted octave rings sharper than the open string, adjusting the saddle farther away from the nut will flatten the note of the fretted octave in relation to the open string.
It's really preference but the closer you get to the strings the more the magnets will pull & can give you an unpleasant sound. I'm not sure what guitar/pups you have but you can get factory specs & set it there. See how you like it & set it from there. Make sure to measure the height before you adjust it by pressing down on the last fret then measure from the humbucker to the bottom of string. Here is a setup video I did. You can start @18:40 I explain it there. If you have any questions I'm more then happy to answer them for you. ua-cam.com/video/-jK1ohwhPCU/v-deo.html
I'm not sure. They all are different sized. Some are metric & some standard. 1/8" is very small use a flashlight & & really look at it. It'll probably be more 3/16" to 1/4".
@@spasspek If you look on each side of the pickup there are 2 screws. Tightening them will raise it & loosing them will lower it. Just don't unscrew them all the way.
@@TheCleaner6969 thanks. I found where the problem is. I've always played with low pickups and I don't know if there ever was, but there were no springs under the SC. I put some and now it works. :)
Perfect! I just ordered one of these lefty Gio’s! Thank you for making this video!!
You're welcome! After a setup they really stay in tune. I think you'll be very happy.

Yes you're lengthening the string hence it'll go flat.
tanks this video helps me so much finally my pickups are lower
You're welcome! I'm glad it was of help.
Keep up the good work thanks
I will try my best ;) Thank you! I'm glad it was of help. You're welcome
Nicely explained on the same guitar I'm using.
Thank you! I'm glad it was of help. It's a really nice guitar.
does your cam flip image? i have a left handed guitar so does the truss rod still work the same way or is it reversed?
No my camera shoots normal not reversed. The trussrod works the same as a righty.
Tq sir. Good explanation.
Thank you! I'm glad it was of help.
Is the bottom pick up supposed to be lower than the upper one? The back pick up on my guitar is much lower farther away from the strings.

hi what size allen wrench did you use? i use the 1/8 size and it doesn’t seem to grab on to the nut and won’t turn

how to adjust height on single coil pickup?
It's the same turn the 2 screws on the sides of the pickups to rise & lower them.
@@TheCleaner6969 I don't see how without a pickguard. I want to rise my single coil pickup but i can't without screw through pickguard.
