Do you check the nut to see if it’s flat, a lot of new ones are not. After your comment , I did check and the nut is flat ( Graphtec nubone nut )

I hate to say "stewm*c", but they have nut seating files. I bought one way back when (when £1=$2). Attachment : image.png Use that carefully and the bottom of the nut slot should be flat, and ...

Errrrr, ok. @Deej - please ignore my comment. Boo was just winding you up. 🤔

There are some great options for alternative tone wirings out there Louis, and some websites devoted just to them! Take some time looking through articles on Premier Guitar ... Somewhere, I've got a ...
