M-3 California Mark II Style Pickups

Well, actually, most typical humbuckers only use one magnet, but North is adjacent to one set of poles (and hence, the coil) and South is adjacent to the other set of poles (or slugs). This how we make the XR-2000's.

Mel's pickups are just single-coil pickups. But the coil is tapped so the user can switch between two output settings, shunting part of the coil to ground. Mel's guitar get's a real authentic "Stratty" quack-tone, I find, on the bridge+middle combo with the coils in their tapped positions (7-8Kohms).

But yes, these particular pickups are coil-tapped, like Mel's.

I do like the way they sound on Mels guitar. By the way is that the guitar that you've been working on so long? Looks great nice job. you shouldn't have any trouble selling those, keeping the cost down is the trick to selling them, its hard to do when there hand made. I've made about five and have given them all away to family you know how that goes. Want to make one for my self, it wont be a for real Mosrite, but the looks and sound will be their I hope, seems like every one is a little different for some reason or another, have to call it a CLONE RITE LOL.
