The previous owner has done significant changes to the pickup heights and I want to reset it to the pickup setup which was used originally. Can someone help me find the default spacing between the pickups and the strings (top/bottom) for this HSH combination? Do you measure with open strings? Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance :)Reset Supra pickup height to default factory settings
Hi - I recently became the happy owner of a 10y old Excalibur Supra The previous owner has done significant changes to the pickup heights and I want to reset it to the pickup setup which was used originally. Can someone help me find the default spacing between the pickups and the strings (top/bottom) for this HSH combination? Do you measure with open strings? Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance :)

Great, thanks for sharing!
I would read it as follows.
GV Wood, or Rock:
Neck pickup: 1 on high E string; 4 on low E string.
Bridge pickup: 0,5 on high E string; 1,5 on low E string.
Although, I don't know if I'm reading it well...
Would those be millimeters between the humbucker and the string ?
Would it be while fretting at the top fret?
I wonder as 0,5mm would seem very, very close. Even if it's the high E, pretty much touching the string.
