Pickups with the above magnet (s – south, n – north) field pattern would be out of phase with itself and when combined with another pickup. The first pattern (s s s n n n), half of the coil would be in phase and the other half would be out of phase with another combined pickup. Also there would be interference with the (s & n) poles when playing. The pickup would sound would sound very thin in between the D & G poles. The (s n s n s n) pickup might sound interesting by itself, but again the strings can be out of phase when combined with other pickup. I’m gonna try making (s n s n s n) and listen to what it sounds like.
