I bought a pair of ceramic spacers and used them on a set of 70s Deluxe-style mini humbuckers. First of all, just using one spacer in an existing pickup is an excellent mod - you don't have to use two; using two changes your pickup quite significantly! Using one works just fine and creates a less dramatic change.
The mini hums sounded cool but were pretty weak - quieter than my Jaguar and a lot quieter than my Jazzmaster! I wanted the minis to sound somewhere in-between my Jaguars and Jazzmaster, both in tone and output. Adding a ceramic spacers on the screw coil side of the mini hums boosted the output, gave increased low end that's tight and punchy, and gave it a little extra high end sparkle that it was missing, even with 1M pots.
Very pleased with the results! Achieved exactly what I wanted them to! Perfect fit even in a mini humbucker.
I was a bit hesitant to try them as I had previously bought a custom Alegree humbucker a couple of years ago that used 2 ceramic spacers with an A4 mag in the neck - I found it way too powerful and bassy. However, using just one is really nice and it works perfectly in the mini hums!
