Default How to raise the pick up height on a Strat.

Noticed that the out put and volume on the middle and neck pick ups is lower than the bridge pick up on my Affinty Strat. In which direction do you turn the screws to raise the pick ups?

Clockwise brings them up, counter lowers them. If it helps, Seymour Duncan always used to recommend the polepieces be no closer than 3/32" to a string pressed down at the last fret. This avoids the oscillating 'wolf tones".

Hope this helps.
