I just lowered the middle pickup on one of my old guitars almost all the way, and i dont plan to use it so it doesnt matter how it sounds (Just using the 2 humbuckers). so my question is: will this disturb the other pickups and/or something else?. Thanks.

my bridge pickup is kinda too high i think cause it gets in the way , i hit it with my pick sometimes, so I would wanna lowwer it so it doesn’t annoy me anymore. My question is should i also lowwer the other pickups to the same height to not mess up my sound?
