Location: Seattle | Just changed the pick guard on my viper to replace a chipped corner.
I took pictures, so the reverse install went smooth BUT.....
This adventure required removing and then replacing the pickups from the old pick guard when putting on the new one
I did not record the pickup height and am unsure what the rules are.
Specifically on the correct distance between strings and the top of the pick-up.
Looking for "rule of thumb" type advice for the best results. |

Location: NW Washington State | Manual says 3/32" both sides, should be a good starting point: http://ovationtribute.com/Catalogues/Viper%201271%20Owner%27s%20Man...
Our best friends at Fender suggest anything from 4/64" to 8/64" for a Tele: http://www2.fender.com/support/articles/telecaster-setup-guide/
