A couple of bucks is much better than no guitar for days on end. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The closer the pickups are to the strings, the louder the output, but there will be more compression, so there will be less dynamic range. So the quiet bits will be loud, but when you thrash it, the sound will not be much louder. And you might have trouble with high gain stuff, as all your finger movements will be amplified. Further away, less volume from the guitar, but more dynamic range. If you pick lightly, it will sound quiet. If you thrash it, it will sound loud. However, there will be more background noise from your pickups (though buckers will compensate for that to an extent). So just get your screwdriver out, and start adjusting.
