<p>Hi, thanks Daryl. I had this idea that the pickup sat flat on the top of the lid. If as you say I still envision an easy fix. Without a photo I give up.</p>

<p>Hi again, sorry Brent I'm confused. If the neck is too high [which is normally referenced off the face of the top] that to me means the fingerboard is too high so the strings would also be too high. This would put the strings further away from the pickup I would have thought.</p>
<p>On the other side of the coin, if the neck is too low,- so that the fingerboard is level with or below the top of the box - then the strings would also be too low and too close to the pickup. Like the man said…</p>

<p>Before building any guitar, I recommend to figure out what scale you want. From there, planning the position of the neck and pickups would be a lot easier.</p>
<p>What I do, I have a 2x4 that acts as my mannequin of planning scales and positioning of bridge and pickups. A scale length is measured from the nut to the bridge area. Lets say you would like to build a 25" scale; then you would measure with a ruler, 25 inches from the bone nut to the bridge (or tail too if its a wraparound).…</p>

<p>Hi, thanks Brent. Would placing a suitable thickness wooden shim under the pickup work. It could hidden under pickup by being same size, or made a fancy feature piece if nice timber.</p>

<p>Hi Brent, I would like to know what went wrong to be able to offer a reliable remedy. Like lll Grean said a photo would help. There could be an easier fix.</p>
<p>it would also help others avoid the mistake.</p>

<p>If you don’t have access to a neck steamer then the next best thing is an adjustable heat gun. Heat it up till you can pry a thin spatula underneath & then just work it away from the box,PATIENTLY while heating the area you’re prying. takes a little time, so work slowly for the best results? Good luck </p>
