Stiffer pickup springs? DGT SE pickups seem loose in the rings.

[Intentionally Blank]

Just picked up an SE DGT for a fantastic price. Have a Core. Had an SE before but decided I needed both after all . BTW, they seem more different from each other than my recollection of the SE I owned prior. The Core's pickups definitely have something different going on. But they're both good instruments in their own regard, and I kind of like that the SE is a similar platform yet provides me with a different voice. Honestly I'm not sure I'd want them to be nearly identical.

Anyway...the pickup springs. I don't remember ever encountering this with other guitars. The pickups on the SE seem really loose in the rings. As I adjust them up or down, there's a lot of "give" in the springs and the pickups tend to easily tilt forward or backwards inside the rings. I know there are springs in there because I can feel them by pushing up and down on the pickup. They just seem like they need to be stiffer and/or longer.

Any good recommendations for dealing with this, i.e., where to get better quality springs? Have any of you encountered this?

Maybe the springs are on the short side. If you have any spares that are longer, you’ll probably get more resistance. I’ve never actually purchased any, so can’t help there.
