How much does pickup height affect active pickups?

  • ceramic pick ups have more of a magnetic pull on your strings while Alnico pick ups have less magnetic pull which will allow you to raise them higher. Active pickup are usually Alnico which will have less pull on the strings. Just raise and lower till you find the sweet spot for tone and response.

    No. Bridge active pickups are ceramic and the neck pickups are alnico. The only exception I know is the EMG FAT55.
