Telecaster Guitar Forum - View Single Post - probably a stupid question about strings and flat polepieces

I know this may sound stupid to most, but for those of you using tele pups with flat orientated pole pieces, do you setup your strings to mimic the neck radius, or do you flaten out the hieight a little on the middle strings to get a more even string for string output? (and by flatten out, I mean subtle, not completely). I've not tried the other because I like my strings to follow the radius, but have been considering looking for pups with raised poles.
