What is the correct measurement (space between the string and the pickup) on a Stringmaster? I'd like to get mine adjusted to perfection. Is there a common/average measurement?

I read somewhere here that 2 quarters ($0.25 US coins) stacked atop one another was very close. I did the same. Tweak for amplitude and sustain, if necessary.

This will be a great place to start, play it for a while, and see if it's right on. Thank you.
