Pardon the necro-bump, but I wanted to ask a question about this method as I'm awaiting delivery of my first set of (used) boutique PAF-clones.
I recently tuned my original BurstBuckers in my '57ri 'blacktop' by ear for even string volume by adjusting the pole pieces. I was pleased with the result and it was the first time I'd ever adjusted the pole pieces on any guitar. I did this in part as pre-tuning of those pickups to compare them to the PAF-clones I will put in this weekend.
I'm intrigued by Roy/Roadrunner's approach to tune them for the sweet spot in terms of individual note bloom. For those who have followed this approach, what was your impressions of 1) string-to-string relative volume comparison; and 2) the balance in the neck-only vs. bridge-only volume comparison?
Thank you in advance,
Fretsalot/Scott
