Re: Robbie Robinson
The gold finished guitar seen in the film The Last Waltz was a vintage instrument, modified to RR's specifications. The short-lived Fender RR signature model employed three Gold Lace Sensors, arranged as one in the neck position, nothing in the centre and the other two, side by side, like a Dually, nearest the bridge.
To nail the RR tone, you will need a Fender Bassman 4x10 and a truckload of attitude.

Re: Robbie Robinson
Duncan makes a slanted humbucker, originally made as a replacement for the Gibson Nighthawk model.

You can have it as a '59b or a JB. I think the '59b slanted will fit alright with single coils.
HTH,

Re: Robbie Robinson
Here is a recent example of what is under discussion.

Clearly, the bridge position "humbucker" is formed of two single coil pickups butted right up beside each other. The nearest thing that Seymour Duncan would have to this would be a Stag Mag assembled onto a Nighthawk baseplate. That would be a custom order.
I cannot remember how the pickup selector switch combines the three coils.
