Every Gibson I've ever bought (I've bought a few) came new from the factory with the pickup polepieces perpendicular to the strings. Just got a new Les Paul Std (60s so with 61R/T) and the polepieces have been adjusted- some as mush as a full turn above the others, & not following the 12" radius but for example the A string was higher than the others on the Bdg. The tape was intact from the online store so I must believe that this was done at the factory.
My understanding is that polepiece adjustment is very rarely a good idea so I've never messed with them; only overall height. Anyone else seen this? Just curious...
