Probably due to my lack of skill, I often am hitting the 2 raised magnet poles of the middle pickup of my SE EG HSS. Lowering the pickup obviously fixes this, but at a cost to the sound. My solution was to take off the pickguard, unscrew the middle pickup, and re-fix with 2 washers (about 1mm thick) between the plastic pickup cover and the metal ears of the pickup. The result is that all the poles are sunk by about 1mm. Having the plactrum clash with a flat surface or a slight hole is better than clashing with pole pieces. Probably better to use non-metal washers but didnt have any. Still, great improvement overall in my playing enjoyment. Just need to work on the skill thing.
