This will probably degauss the magnets in your pickups.
I also can't see how it would reduce string tension.
Also if the trem is magnetic, wouldn't this make it harder to use?
Inventing things for the sake of it? A TC Spark Boost Mini is £40 and can thicken the tone of a Strat.
Though if it affects string tension it'll put the guitar out of tune.
It's rather like saying a Twin Reverb needs a high gain channel.

Pretty funny stuff. Trying to be restrained here.
If it's so great why not show us on the demo. I shall be investing my Primary Tone cash elsewhere.
In the Oil City workshop our huge 'charging neos' have their own area, and no healthy pickups are allowed within feet of them.

If you want a thicker, more compressed, muddy and inferior sound don't get a Strat.
Why are people always trying to change what is an excellent sounding guitar?
Grrrrrr, it makes me so mad!
There is of course a very significant issue with it - its bloody ugly....
it can change the resonant frequency of the neck. Potentially useful if you had dead spots.
But you can test the idea really easily and make up your own mind

If the magnets are strong enough to allow you to use the trem vigorously ... to my mind they are too strong to be allowed near me pickups.

A quick and dirty test ... adding the mass of a couple of neos behind the bridge ... yep ... it changes the sound a bit. Cost ... around four quid ...

I'm wondering if it changes the shape of the magnetic fields around the coils???
