I wanna lower my action so I can play faster. How do I lower the bridge pickup?

You see those three fixing screws that hold the bridge pup onto the pickguard? If you turn them, it moves the pickup up or down. If you turn one of the side ones it angles it to change amount of bass/treble strength. If you turn them all the way it falls off.

Don't they re-attach with duct tape?

I just wanted lower action...

Lowering the bridge pickup will not give you lower action. You asked the wrong question maybe. Sorry, can we have the next contestant please.

Use the height screws on each saddle to lower the action. Fender's Tele setup guide tells you how to measure and a starting point for string height.

Still confused?

Ah, you mean the little allen screws on each side of each string saddle. Do it. Turn them. retune. Play faster.
