Godin Kingpin CWII Pickup Height
I have a question about the height of the bridge pickup on my Godin Kingpin CWII (p90 version). I'm having some work done on it by a tech, with the objective of making it a little more playable. He is cutting the nut slots a little lower, adjusting the truss rod, etc.
What has us both stumped is the height of the bridge pickup and how that limits how low the bridge can be brought down. Along with advice, if anyone can post a similar photo of their Kingpin II, that would be appreciated.

I did a little searching and here's a post from jazzguitar.be that deals with the same issue. Does this make sense to you?

The tech just let me know that he had removed the pickup spacer and, along with filing the nut slots, he could lower the bridge enough to improve the playability considerably. I'm looking forward to picking it up tomorrow and playing it without grimacing.

Did you buy that used? I own a Kingpin myself, and have played a couple of others, and have never seen one with that extra shim on the bridge pickup, maybe a previous owner added that, for whatever reasons...

The tech removed the shim and did a little extra work on the pickup housing and I'm happy to say that, as the saying goes, the guitar now plays like (proverbial) butter.
