Soooo soooo amazing! A master luthier from Gibson giving tips no and on. And all about things that you just notice after years of playing! Amazing. So gratefull.
You gave the specs in 16th of inches at (4:27) and in 64th inches at (4:49). Which is correct? I don't mean to be picky just want to know which it is. Thank you very much for this video! 🙂
Agreed! I don't think you could even get the pickups to be 12/64's away from the strings on most guitars....especially Custom Shop LP's. Strange thing though...many years ago the spec was 5/64's on the bass side and 4'64's on the treble side for the bridge pickup. I think the specs have changed recently with the advent of lower output pickups. If you set Custombuckers too far from the strings, they sound like crap. Set them correctly and they're marvelous. If you check out a newer (2019 and later) R9 for example, the pickups are usually even closer than 3/64's.
These videos are vital if you play a Guitar. As a fan of Gibson, ive always wanted to know that my guitar was set up correctly because when it is, the sound is phenomenal.
I remember way back when I was 12-13-14 years old and I wanted to adjust my guitar properly right and there wasn't these kind of videos and now there are gold thank you so much for taking the time and effort Gibson! Btw I'm 26 right now.
I would like to propose an idea to all guitar manufacturers and distributors....set up the guitar prior to selling it to the consumer. The sales pitch when buying new guitars is the distributor will provide a free setup if requested by the customer. Why should it be requested?...simply do the setup before it reaches the customer. That's like selling a car with flat tires, here is your brand new car, it comes with free air fill up also! but you have to ask for it first. I love my gibsons and other guitars and asked my local shop to set it up my gibbys once i bought them, but it was going to take them 2 weeks for them to do it. So I appreciate this video for people wanting to learn is the best way. Just my pet peeve, but love the products and content, thanks Gibson, my life is so much better with you in it!
I couldn't agree more! It's a pain when you go in a guitar store to buy a new guitar because most aren't set up and intonation isn't even close so they sound like crap. It's hard to get a good feel on what you are playing like that!
@@brooksphillips2234 thanks brooksphillips!....my first real guitar was an ibanez 7 string with a floyd rose and I freely admit, I knew nothing of string height, pickup height or proper intonation. Come to think of it, that one probably never was properly set up, but I had fun jamming on it anyway....lol
The simple reason is they can't guarantee how the transportation from factory to shops (globally) will affect the guitar. Yeah pickup height won't change, but other things are likely to need adjusting after the travel. Lots of players also like to adjust the pickup height too, or swap them out.
I did this to my Goth fiddle. By adjusting the after market pickups I installed it made them really come to life. Adjusting the pole pieces to the radius of the neck, and setting the clearance as suggested. Thank you. Love your videos.
The US Mint should also create a Holographic Commemorative Coin of The Late Great Les Paul Playing His Les Paul, along with a Holographic Gibson Les Paul Digital 6-X Pro Guitar on the other side!
Just wanted to thank Jim for emphasizing different styles and methods of thought on this. I want as balanced a response as I can get from my pickups with minimal volume differences, so I view the pickups as “bass” and “treble” tone settings. Alot of other players need that instant switch from rhythm to lead sounds. Find what works best for you!
ERROR - On adjusting pickup height at bridge you say measurement is "3/16" at 04:30 then say "3/64" at 04:49 for the same measurement.... Your spec is 3/64 Yes? Not 3/16?
Thank you Gibson. Great things you are doing for the Gibson Guitar player. And the Quality in your Guitar Manufacturing has become so amazing from the craftsmanship to the way your doing properly wired 50s / 60s model Les Paul's. I really like the new Graph Tech nut you guy choose keep in tune great. I'm about to purchase a new Les Paul Standard. Not sure if I want the 50s or 60s yet. I'm pertty excited 😁
Thanks Jim! That was a totally rad video. I payed close attention and would like to add. Some players like to use the lower tunings like drop C and stuff. After the initial set-up like you said, additional adjustments may be required. Lower tuning means more string movement. Buzzing may occur. This is more likely on the neck pickup. Lower the pickup as required incrementally until you reach the sweet spot with max input and zero buzz.
I tried the dime high E bridge , penny low E bridge, penny high E neck, nickel low E neck also on an HSS Strat with a stacked single on the neck and I’m very pleased. I did not adjusted the individual pole pieces on the bridge humbucker.
Nice tips Jim. When it comes to listening/adjusting, I like to set the pickups up until I hear waves coming out of harmonics/overtones from the amp. To me, when it puts out those natural sinusoidal tones, I have reached my sweet spot !
Please elaborate on this for me. I've never heard anyone talk about overtones and harmonic waves. If it's anything similar to playing an electric unplugged and finding that one note that just "sings" (reverberates), I'm already in love with your method.
@@DanielSmith-ce5if Yes Daniel, it’s a bit like you describe. Too close to the strings might sound harsh and the magnetic attraction of the pickups might preclude the strings from vibrating to their full extent. Too far might sound weak and dull. Trust your ears: strum while you set up the pickup height and when you find the right spot, you will hear the full richness of the “singing” notes.
You can also use a pick or two to gauge. I like to raise the pickups, then hold a pick (1.2mm at bridge) or two (1.2mm+0.71mm at neck) between so the string is holding it against the screw. Then lower the pickup until the pick(s) falls out. All with string held at fret 22 of course. (And then raise the treble end of the neck pickup a half turn). Love my dot.
Awesome video. I thought my guitar sounded good. but just something wasn't quite right. Everyone of your videos corrected something. This was the final piece of the puzzle. Thanks for not charging me extra for the tutorial.
Been looking for a good pickup height video for my les paul traditional and you guys nailed it. Thank you. Wife got me a stew mac string action gauge and I set mine up to this video specs and instantly amazing difference. For some reason my bridge was at like 8/64 way too low. Awesome stuff guys thanks again.
Any tips on balancing pickup height for tone but also for magnetic pull? Sometimes I find the pickups lower my string action even though they’re in the tonal sweet spot. Ruins the feel with the magnetic suck and lower action
Today I adjusted the pick ups with the side screws to get an acoustic type of sound and the lead pickup in a way that doesn’t sound annoying so that when I blend it in the middle with both pickup it sounds more pleasing and then I strung each string to hear volume differences and get rid of these annoying frequencies that keep overpowering when I’m trying to play in the background. I’m 90% where I want it but I don’t know where I will want it till I play live
I love them Burstbucker Pro Pickups. I use them in all my Les Paul Guitars. I like them even better than the DiMarzios in my Vivian Campbell Signature #26, so I installed Burstbucker Pros there too. Very powerful, but not too hot - Exact the right ones for my 80ies Rock thing. Thank you Gibson! :-)
Thanks for these videos. Where’s the neck & action adjustment video you mentioned? I’ve been looking everywhere for Gibson’s recommended action & neck relief values for ages.
I wish this videos also covered adjusting the height on all the other types of pickups that Gibson uses. And whether the same specs are a good starting point for those. Overall, though, this series is great!
Thx. My R8 finally sounds good with your recommendation for Historic pickup heights. Gibson should really make these specs available online would be easier for everyone.
Step one check how borked the neck set angle is to see how much foam you’ll need to set the pickup straight. Seriously tho, it’s nice to see a guide that actually takes personal preference into account. I’d also say if you’re playing at a high volume set your pickups at that volume. When setting up at home your neck pickup will always seem louder due to its boomier characteristic, however once your playing at gig volume in a band a lot of that sound gets lost in the mix and it’ll sound way quieter. Similar to what happens with a Big Muff. Sounds thick and massive in the studio and just disappears/loses its punch in a live setting.
My Epiphone ES-335 Pro is getting a string change right now (by me). Using the coins as a measurement device...I see that the pickups are WAY below what they should or could be. I'll use my ears... but wow, I had no idea how low mine were set.
Great post. I learned allot. At may age, the lower the distortion the better. It seems to me the higher the output the higher the distortion. Any trace of a sawtooth wave rags my ears.
This is fantastic Jim!. However, maybe I'm missing some thing, at 4.32 you say the pickup clearance is 3/16 of an inch on the lead pick up. Then at 11:38 you say it's 3/64 of an inch. Could you please clarify the actual clearance for both the bridge and rhythm pick ups?
Thank you! Very interesting "coins trick" for the pickups high Here in Switzerland, I mesured for 3/64 the 50 ct coin (or 5ct) and for 4/64 1Fr or 20 ct coins. The 2Fr coin is 5.5/64. I don't have Euros actually
Thank you Mr. DeCola for this video. I always felt like somehow I was dumb for not simply "knowing" proper pickup height and adjustment. This is an excellent video. I appreciate you making it! P.S. I have a new Gibson Les Paul 60's Standard in Bourbon Burst :) So this is very timely!
I just brought the neck pickup down until it stopped making the weird harmonic notes. That way I retain as much volume and attack as possible without the squeal noise. The pole is about 3/32 from the string. 1982 Gibson Les Paul fretless wonder.
Question: When using the coins as thickness gauges is this the following process? Place preferred coin on pickup+press the E strings down on highest fret+Eyeball the height to adjust the pickup height up or down? To double check adjustment do you put the preferred coin back on the pickup and press the E string down on the highest fret for the bridge and neck pickup treble and bass?

That's an odd way to spell "third world countries".

Ughhh.... It's hard to decide which are worse -- metric snobs or grammar Nazis. I'm pretty sure metric snobs were formula fed as infants.
Honestly, if you are able to get insulted by this post - who gives a shit. Just get a life.
I tried these adjustments and it made a huge difference. This is probably (IMO) one of the best videos on pickup height

Sure he meant 64ths.
That would also align to the thickness of the coins he mentioned using as gauges too.
Jim’s videos are the best. Brief discussion and strait to the point with very useful tips.
4:30 I’m pretty sure he meant 3/64... 3/16 would equal 12/64. This series is my go to for keeping my SG’s rocking!

The action adjustment mentioned in the video (02:06) , will it be a next one video?
My SG is sounding nice ....its a very bright guitar in a good way !
Thank you! Very interesting "coins trick" for the pickups high Here in Switzerland, I mesured for 3/64 the 50 ct coin (or 5ct) and for 4/64 1Fr or 20 ct coins. The 2Fr coin is 5.5/64. I don't have Euros actually
