Re: GI 20 TWEAKS NEWBIE QUESTION

When strings get too close to the magnetic hex pickups, the magnetism reduces their movement (the same
applies to normal pickups).

The effect increases with the gauge of the string. So if you use heavy strings, say gauge 12 or more for the low
E, you may want to increase the gap to a fraction more than the Roland recommended 1 mm. Just experiment.
