By eliminating the cover, therefore utilizing the entire P90 rout, and by placing the polepiece screws at an angle under the strings, I have been able to widen the core of the coil just enough to add six additional polepiece screws (two per string, twelve per pickup) and still have room for both bar magnets. Then wind the coil to the size of a P90 cover, instead of a coil that fits inside of a P90 cover, for a larger aperture giving it a bigger tone (the coil is about 1/8” wider). “I love the big tone of a P90”... I made it bigger AND more responsive.
those pickups would bother me less if the additional poles were all oriented symmetrically. you can see they're off from a camera shot away. the installation screws also look strange crammed into that arrangement.
