I would definitely hold off on adjusting your pickups until you've really tried everything on the amp settings - especially if you are generally happy with how your guitar sounds. I would try reducing the body and detail by various amounts (30%?) and then bringing the master volume up to compensate to see if that gives you the extra control you want. Let us know how you get on.Spirit of 76 wrote: Would setting my pickups lower give me a little more room on the volume knob for cleans?
+1I had to put CTS pots in my Les Paul - the stock Gibsons were rubbish. I use similar gain settings to you in HDR and I can clean up by rolling the guitars vol down to about 3-4.

Everything is just lower on the guitar now then what I was used to before but there is much more gain on tap now. I think I may look into the different pots and wiring. Is this known as 50's wiring? What is involved with this? I never modified a guitar before and would need someone to do the work.
Adjusting pickups is not the end of the world :) take a piece of thin cardboard and place it on the pickup and then trace the string height... then procede to adjust your pickups as needed and if that turns up dry and you do not like how you adjusted them then put them back to normal using your cardboard template.Angus wrote:I would definitely hold off on adjusting your pickups until you've really tried everything on the amp settings - especially if you are generally happy with how your guitar sounds.
