How close should the humbucker be to the strings?

Humbuckers are an essential part of most electric guitars, and getting them in the right position can be tricky. Ever wonder how close the pickups on your guitar should be to the strings? The closer the humbuckers are to the strings, the more distortion they create. On the other hand, if they are far away, their voices will be melodious and sweet. In addition to choosing the right humbucker pickups, you need to choose quality strings if you want to get the ideal sound you have in mind.
