I like the fact that you have done this to your guitar. Lowering the pickup will have a big effect on your tone. I know that because when I had first had my war horse JP6 the previous owner had stuffed cardboard packers under the bridge pickup. There was quite a difference to the sound when I removed the packers.
If I'd told people what I had done to my Les Paul (which I have to add I no longer use)- it would make your toes curl - had it since '73 and it's gone through the wringer - even missing a small piece of the headstock. OK so the guitar is now almost 40 years old and if it was a case queen it would be worth substantially more than it is now - but I wouldn't have had all the fun adding to it's wear!! I was like you at the time - working on a building site - no money to afford an arsenal of guitars - infact I only had one guitar with me during many years of gigging.
So - the purists will frown but I for one take my hat off to you, and hope you stick around.
