deteriorate—if your
Squier by Fender Stratocaster Guitar and Controller
doesn’t play in tune,
start by installing a fresh set of strings. If tuning problems persist, please visit

PICKUP HEIGHT
The pickup height of your
Squier® by Fender® Stratocaster® Guitar and Controller
is factory-
set for maximum sensitivity for
Rock Band™ 3
gameplay. As previously noted, significant string
height changes will require pickup height adjustment.
To determine and properly adjust pickup height, fret the low E string at the 22nd fret and
measure from the top of the pickup to the bottom of the string using a small ruler with 1/64”
increments; the distance should be no more than 1/16” (1.6 mm). Repeat this measurement
for the high E string. To raise the pickup accordingly, simply turn the two Philips-head screws on
either side of the pickup clockwise. To lower the pickup, turn the screws counterclockwise.
