@Heavyriff: thanks again. I think in the last photo I managed to get the saddles pretty level but I am not sure about butting them up together...is this another setting I have to do and from where do I do it.
On the pickups, when you say feel them with fingernail, which part to feel the magnet itself or the whole body of the pickup against the pick guard.
Re intonation ok it is much more clearer to me now from your explanation...so will go ahead and set this up as well and then let me know how to set pick up height then.
@rgbedard: Thanks for the numbers...and yes I understand when to go by how you feel the guitar now whilst experimenting with the setup myself.
I also now proceeded with the intonation and I think I have managed this as well. I lowered the pickups and then brought them back to their original height. So same readings while pressing last fret I have 4.5mm bass and 2.5mm treble. For the professional from fender specs this is the setting table:
Texas Specials Bass8/64" (3.2 mm) Treble 6/64" (2.4 mm)
Vintage style Bass 6/64" (2.4 mm) Treble 5/64" (2 mm)
Noiseless™ Bass8/64" (3.2 mm) Treble 6/64" (2.4 mm)
Standard Single-Coil Bass5/64" (2 mm) Treble 4/64" (1.6 mm)
Humbuckers Bass4/64" (1.6 mm) Treble 4/64" (1.6 mm)
The profession has Tim Shaw-designed V-Mod single-coil Stratocaster pickups..so should I start with the standard single coil above then as not sure which type I should follow. If this is the case my pickup height is way off. Should I follow some other advise from your end for setting pickup height please.
Thanks for all this help
