I recently purchased a DeArmond T-400. I have a suspicion the front spacers were removed. Does anyone know the proper spacing from top of pups to bottom of strings

Thank You

I've owned four of these over the years and all were similar with pickup mounting. Typically the neck pickup only has a very thin black plastic spacer. I have assumed this is done in an attempt to balance out the volume between the neck and bridge pickup. The bridge pickup typically has a taller chrome housing plus the addition two "beveled" spacers reversed and stacked increases the pickup even more by about 0.080".
