I adjust the highs of my single coils depending to what I do. I anyway have to do this all the times, since they lower when playing. A while back I sampled my guitar for the sound sampler of my tablet PC. Since I needed a blues g hexatonic, I decided to sample the scale close to the twelfth fret (IOW around the thirteenth and fifteens fret), because a single coil close to the neck then produces an unique sound. Indeed, when playing a guitar I seldom want the noise caused by to high coils, but when recording it to make a sampler sound it's wanted for one or he other tone, "dirt" makes a sound sample sound more natural. The day before I adjusted action and intonation. Too funny, just one day, perhaps caused by another temperature of the room and the intonation that was nearly perfect the day before, wasn't perfect anymore. I guess intonation of guitars could become a serious issue for converters. I place value on a good intonation, but if the tuning is perfect when playing open and for the twelfth fret, the tuning for the frets between open and twelfth fret still could be disastrous. I only can fit the intonation to the way I play my guitar, if somebody else should prefer to play chords and scales in other positions, the intonation likely is broken. However, the e guitar at least has a relatively good intonation. My classical guitar has got a very "unique", "odd" intonation ;) and there's no action to adjust it.
