Adjusting your pick-ups 

The magnetic pick-ups in your Parker PDF model can be raised or lowered to adjust your instruments output level.  These are set at the factory for optimal conditions, 
though can be changed to suit your tastes if needed. 
 
To raise and lower your pick-ups, there are two adjustment points located on each of the pick-up rings.  These can be adjusted with a small Phillips screwdriver. 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
  

 

 

 
 
 

 

A. Bass side pick-up adjustment screw-turn clockwise to raise, turn 
counter-clockwise to lower the pick-up 
 
B. Treble side pickup adjustment screw-turn clockwise to raise, turn 
counter-clockwise to lower the pick-up 

 

 

** Make these adjustments evenly for both sides of the pick-up, or 

you will experience uneven output across your guitar strings.  

Remember- minimal adjustments go a long way.  Take it slow, and 

never excessively raise or lower either screw.  Doing so will make the 

screw slip from its internal spring
