  • sir how can i fix my 2 strings at the bottom? they are not sounding loud like the remaining 4 strings? they have a low volume but the 4 at the top has higher volume? thanks sir

  • @deadlyfine I would start by checking to see if the pickup is level. It sounds like the pickup might be angled so that the bottom two strings are further away than the remaining four. Usually this is done very easily with a screw driver. Either raise the bottom, or lower the top of the pickup, depending on what sound you prefer. (The further from the strings the cleaner and quieter.) Hope that helps!
