      My little brother was pissing about with my guitar and messed with the humbucker pickup on my Squire Strat because now It doesn't sound the same.

      Anyone know what height it should be at at both sides? :f_steam: :f_steam:

      Squire HSS fender strat.

      I did exactly the same with the exact same guitar and made it sound better. :D

      I honestly couldn't tell you mate. Can you not just adjust the screws either side until it sounds good again? Or has he took the pick gaurd off and fu**ed it up like I did. :D

      No he's just adjusted the screws either side of the pickup. :haha:

      It sounds weird I've tried adjusting it myself but can't get it to sound like it did. Fender say it's 1.8mm (magnet to string) but that is for a proper stratocaster I think!
