Re: Screw/Screw and Stud/Stud in series?
Yes. What you can do is put the magnet in upside down and wire the pickup backwards. That way they will be hum canceling when stud/stud and screw/screw are activated together.

Re: Screw/Screw and Stud/Stud in series?
Well what I'm designing lets me split to either coil on either pickup individually, so I could have screw/stud, stud/screw, screw/screw and stud/stud all in series, but if the latter two won't be useful I may simplify things so I get only what I would use.

So long as everything is properly shielded and you have quality pickups, noise shouldn't be too much of an issue. What pickups are you using?

Re: Screw/Screw and Stud/Stud in series?
I've got a PGB and JazzN, and I did indeed plan on shielding the cavities after I pulled the wiring and pickups out for this rewire.
So are the hum doubling virtual humbuckers worth it, if noise would ideally be low? There's also just a decent chance that they won't sound all that different.

Re: Screw/Screw and Stud/Stud in series?
Yeah, series doesn't create too much hum and the Jazz and PG are relatively quiet, you shouldn't have to much of an issue with it. I think it's worth it to at least try it. Personally, I think the inner and outer coils make the biggest difference in tone, but mixing and matching the coils does sound pretty good. Another thing to note is that there is a bigger difference in parallel then series, so stud/stud will sound similar to screw/screw. Not identical by any means, but closer than if you do the same combinations in parallel.

Re: Screw/Screw and Stud/Stud in series?
Yeah I'll have them in series or parallel, on a push pull. The splits aren't fully independent: the volume pots split their respective pickup to the screw coil when pulled, series HB pushed, a third push pull for series parallel between the pickups, and the fourth one makes the pushed option on BOTH pickup stud coil split instead of series HB

Why not just wire to pair up neck screw & bridge slug in single coil mode? That makes a virtual HB (which is the same as Artie's Coil Swap Mod).
