How does it work?

This device works on the principle that it doesn't matter if the pickup is mounted under the strings or above the strings, as long as the distance between the pickup and the strings is the same, you will get the same results. Our pickup tester simply mounts the "pickup under test" upside down, like a bridge directly over your strings instead of under your strings. This device has special leveling feet with suction cups attached so that you can easily adjust the height of your pickup in relation to the strings. This unique design allows the user the same flexibility they would have if the pickup was mounted conventionally under the strings. The suction cups also provide a quick, convenient way for the user to attach the tester anywhere on the smooth surface of the guitar.
