They're all like that. It annoyed me so much that I removed the pickup and ring. I reversed the ring (I reversed the pickup in the ring too to keep the poles in the original direction).
This fixed the situation. It had no effect on tone. It is much more pleasing to the eye.
Though it doesn't help my sleep deprivation, there is some consolation in knowing there are many who suffer
with the same problem. Hoping someone comes up with a solution to post here but that probably won't be at this
time of the night.
