I spent some time experimenting with gaps between magnets, and I think just removing the keeper bar and inserting tiny spacers is excellent to fix an edgy bridge pickup. However, removing the keeper bar AND also putting tapered slugs like Dimarzio does, creates too much space and weakens the pickup too much. Also making it lose too much definition.
Next thing I'm trying is a ceramic magnet with my aired bridge pickup, because I want to keep the edge on my neck pickup, but the aired bridge pickup is weaker so they're not balanced.
Another cool test was putting tapered AIR slugs in a neck pickup with the narrow tip pointing up. Made my muddy neck Air Classic much sharper.
