Rabbit Hole #2: Make my own pickups. About $500 for an automatic hand winding station.

Why?

One way to make single-coils hum cancelling is to wind one pickup clockwise with South Poles up,

Then another with North poles up counter-clockwide.

When they are combined, hum is cancelled. Stacked noiseless do this.

But what if you wound 1/2 of a pickup South poles up clockwise, and the other half North poles up counter-clockwise? Also hum-cancelling, but with a more purist tone.
