That Fralin mod is very interesting. As you raise the screws out of any humbucker or P90 the sound does thin out a bit. I had read here on TDPRI that if you remove the 6 hidden screws from each pickup, you get a better sound. I tried it and it was, well, different. It did brighten up a bit but the pickups lost their low end and any fullness they had.

This is surprising though because turning the screws on a pickup often makes little or no difference because they're not magnets. It's not nearly same dramatic effect you get by raising or lowering the srcew magnets in a WRHB.
