Why is my G string so loud?

[tenniso]

i've got a new mexi-strat. i have a Dimarzio HS3 at the neck in single coil mode, and a Fender American Strat pickup in the middle, stock at bridge(for now).

the pickups all have staggered pole pieces. my G string is a little too loud. i have raised the bridge saddle, but it didn't really help. i think my neck radius is 9.5". would flat pole piece pickups be better?

Are you using a wound G string? Sounds like the G pole piece is maybe to high if not.

You will need to use flats. The reason for this is that most staggered strat pickups are made to ape the vintage pickups, which were made for players who used wound G's (only thing available) which are quieter than plain G's.

I've heard that staggered poles can make the G and D strings jump out a little
