Reviewers have noted (and I've now confirmed) that the pickup for the E strings seem weak. After adjusting the pickup height to spec and listening, I found that you could also think of the problem as excessively hot pickups for the D & A strings.
After playing around a bit, I settled on snipping out a couple bits of ductwork metal and letting them magnetically stick to the two ea. humbucker poles for both D and A. The result is a much more even response across all strings. I don't know enough to attribute it to shorting across the humbucker poles or simple magnetic shielding. But it worked!
I added a couple drops of Seal-All under the metal tabs to secure them against clicking if the pick hits them.
