I went through the guitar setup book by Dan Erlewine. I was
surprised.....well.....shocked to discover not word one on pickups!!
Besides tuning, the most common thing players probably do is replace
pickups! At a minimum I would expect some discussion of pickup setup,
pole piece adjustment, distance from strings....but SQUAT!!!!.

Wow did he blow it on that one.

Pickup set up is different for every guitar and player. I shudder to
think how many replacement pickups there are.

DUh!!...so is everything else. not having a discussion of PU setup was a
bonehead mistake!

This just seems so odd, since pickups *are* covered in the setup
chapters of the Guitar Player Repair Guide, also by Erlewine.
