I adjust the highs of my single coils depending to what I do. I anyway
have to do this all the times, since they lower when playing. A while
back I sampled my guitar for the sound sampler of my tablet PC. Since I
needed a blues g hexatonic, I decided to sample the scale close
to the twelfth fret (IOW around the thirteenth and fifteens fret),
because a single coil close to the neck then produces an unique sound.
Indeed, when playing a guitar I seldom want the noise caused by to high
coils, but when recording it to make a sampler sound it's wanted for
one or he other tone, "dirt" makes a sound sample sound more natural.
The day before I adjusted action and intonation. Too funny, just one
day, perhaps caused by another temperature of the room and the
intonation that was nearly perfect the day before, wasn't perfect
anymore. I guess intonation of guitars could become a serious issue for
converters. I place value on a good intonation, but if the tuning is
perfect when playing open and for the twelfth fret, the tuning for the
frets between open and twelfth fret still could be disastrous. I only
can fit the intonation to the way I play my guitar, if somebody else
should prefer to play chords and scales in other positions, the
intonation likely is broken. However, the e guitar at least has a
relatively good intonation. My classical guitar has got a very
"unique", "odd" intonation ;) and there's no action to adjust it.

The effect is striking. You can hear it without
even plugging the
guitar in. As you adjust the pickup ever higher, and pluck the
strings, you can hear the horrible overtones from the frequency
splitting.
Wow really? I didn't know that.. but I'll try it tomorrow!
Thanks for the 'note' ;) -Harry
