Seems like a lot of trouble to go through for the same outcome.

Wouldn't it be cool if they made a pickup that.....

It's only 3 components, it's onboard the guitar, and doesn't require batteries that add weight and go bad during a gig.

EQ is important, but simply boosting or cutting frequencies doesn't change how those frequencies feel and respond -- the envelopes of various frequencies pretty much stay the same. You can EQ a Custom Custom, but it isn't going to sound like a Jazz N, much less a 50s Strat pup. It's like the difference between a SansAmp and the real thing: superficial, but most people wouldn't notice the difference.

I am not thinking the coils would act independently. The switch could connect the bottom coil to the top coil. The top could be maybe 4.5K winds and the bottom 2.5k. In the off position, you would get 4.5K the switch would join the coils to give you 6K.

Another passive tone variant:
Put a hummelbucker in parallel. That makes a very glassy sound because the resonance peak is now at very high frequency, higher than any reasonable pickup naturally is. You can lower the frequency of the resonance peak with a load capacitor, to a value that in between your current unloaded parallel value and what the pickup has in series.

I did have a set of double creme that Theodie made from Zebra/Reverse Zebra coils. He used a Pearly Gates/APH-1 for the neck. I broke up the set when I sold them, but I think beaubrummels bought the neck. I am not sure what he paired it with to try it out.

Yup. Vintage Rails come that way. (Or used to.) And an Invader in parallel is one of my favorite "hidden" PAF's.

To my knowledge StingRay basses are the only conventional humbucker equipped electrics that comes from the factory in parallel. I'd like to see a new model of 6 string guitar that does that

I tried it with a T-Deco bridge and then a Jazz bridge, and a Pearly bridge. All close neighbors and all stellar combos. Very clear and even neck. Not as bright as a Jazz/Pearly neck and not as soft on the top as a A2P or WLH. Right in the middle. I suspect it might be close to what the custom shop Pearlies are like, based on descriptions.

You'll have to be logged in to read it.
Have you tried the Triple Shot humbucker rings? They allow for either coil off (single coil/half-humbucker), parallel, and series (traditional humbucker). When you’re using hotter pickups, that allows for a pretty good boost (trad. humbucker vs half-hum., for example.
Why DiMarzio?
Epiphone is using wireless pickup connectors in their production guitars, as well.
That would be sick set up with Triple Shots, as well.
