Adjusting the pickups, and not going to take anything apart….
Tired to lower the neck pickup and it didn’t want to go lower.
Foam under the chrome bezel but I’m getting the impression the route isn’t deep enough to lower it even if I remove the foam..
Amirite?
Pickup balance was 50-70% louder favoring the neck pickup, but adjusting the poles on the bridge pickup sorted it to perfection..
I love single coils anyway, but I think these hi-gains are my favorites…Gromitsgrommets instead, maybe even cutting them in half to make them even thinner. Put then in the four corners, too, just like on vintage Ricks.

I finally set the fireglo down and focused my attention on the mapleglo..
Similar situation, neck pickup was overpowering the bridge, so same adjustments to the bridge poles and sorted.
I think next string change I may try the grommet trick on the neck pickups of both guitars, but pushing the bezel down I’m not getting much movement so the routes may not be deep enough, but I’ll at least look.
I ended up taking the bridge covers off both geetars, and my favorite bridge which WAS the Gibson tuna-matic has been replaced by whatever ric is calling this bridge…
