Help me troubleshoot a loud B string

[OneTanMan]

I’ve made a Telecaster deluxe style guitar with two Gibson Custombuckers. The b string over loud, it’s the loudest string when amplified, but not acoustically. Here is what I’ve tried:

• Lowered the b pole pieces and raised the e pole piece. This helped a bit at the bridge, but not at the neck.
• Tested the same notes on different strings. They always right loudest on the b.
• Raised the action on the e to avoid thinness due to fret buzz
• Changed strings brands and gauges

I’m considering replacing the bridge from modern fender block to Callaham bent steel w/ modern spacing. I don’t think that would do much but I’m running out of ideas.

Different strings?

Different strings?

Thanks! Yes I’ve tried both different gauges and brands. Specifically Gibson Brite Wires 9s and 10s and Daddario XL Nickel both 9s and 10s.

Louder than the G? The largest string core is the unwound G, then the B. That's why the B pole piece is buried beneath the cover on the vintage Fender stagger (Fender staggered for a wound G, with the smallest core).

How is the string height? is the B sitting any lower at the nut or bridge?
