Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

Entwistle Nemesis? Might be a bit high output for your tastes but could be worth a gamble at the price.

Or Warman G-rail?

Consider a single coil humbucker mount for a single coil size dual blade. The are quite expensive for what they are but we can get creative and make our own.

Ooh yes, nice find saltee. I remember looking at those before some time ago. Chances are that gold foil is a microphone in sheep's clothing! Thanks for the suggestions Vincent. Those conversion rings are indeed an option although it's hard to know what they are made out of. Just looks like a piece of acetate with or without some foil on the back. Easy to make. I do quite like the zebra pair of blades in one of my pics but do I really need a PAIR of blades at each position? Doubtful but worth a consideration.

DefJef I dont know what the material is but it should not be difficult to find something suitable and make our own. Wood even. Yes I overlooked your zebra set when I suggested the double double rail, 2 x dual rail, or quad rail, or whatever the best descriptor is. They could be hot so might not pair well with a regular single coil type pickup at the other end.

I wouldn't put a single coil at the other end. I'd put a pair on (probably!). That is something that I have considered myself actually
We just need to consider that the mounts will need to be a little flexbile to follow the top contour in the case of a les paul.

Use the LP pickup surround and fit a flat single coil plate/plastic insert inside the humbucker surround. You can have different colour inserts to the humbucker surround. Or as you say Vincent wood plate. Ammend Meant to say pickguard material could be used as the insert material inside humbucker surround or thin sheet timber. Easy to cut and shape.
