Duncan tele 1/4 pounders:

I installed a set on my tele and they sound incredible.....but the magnetic pull is so strong, I can't intone the guitar. I lowered the pick-ups to get rid of the magnetic pull (guitar nicely in tune), but now I lost tone, punch and whatever!. I'm at about 7mm on the low strings and about 5mm on the treble side. it sounds good, but lost its thunder! That's a compromise too. Can any one solve this.

Thx, lawrence

Heavier gauge strings.
