This is a picture of this experiment:

My attempt would be to obtain a louder neck pickup on my tele to compensate the bridge PAF, but I still wanted a humbucking tone effect if possible and some single coil sparkle. The obvious candidate would be a P90, even if not humbucking, BUT in my drawer I remebered there were 2 unused GFS neck numbuckers (A2 and A5) so I started thinking about using 2 threaded poles coils to create a split single, arranged in a wide range humbucker style (although I know WRHB are 12 poles humbuckers with CuNiFe threaded slug, of course).
So I kept the A5 magnet, unscrewed 6 slug and connected the two coils in series like a normal hb, and that's the result.
I have to say it works. the hum is stil present but definitely low, the bass are a little gummy, like the one of a HB, treble are more similar to single coils, the mid range is even, it pairs very well with the bridge.
Has anybody tried something similar and wanted to share it?
