Hi | Re: Magnet Stagger Just my opinion (we all know about opinions, right?), but I set my strats with the action ranging from low-medium to *very* high, and always put the pickups way far away from the strings. They sound great that way. I've been playing strats since the late 'sixties, and the pickups sound a lot better more removed from the strings (bridge closer than the others; I personally put the middle pu WAY far away, cranked way down into the body for a mellower sound than the others). If the output level suffers (and it will), I make it up with the amp. It seems like the older the pickups and therefore "weaker" the output, the better the results from seperating the strings and pickups (!?!); I also get better sound from higher action on rosewood fretboards with strats (though not necessarily with other guitars).
