This is a very cool guitar I built for my "power duo" project called "The Hanged Toupans". This band is just me and my drummer. So I had to adapt some of my guitars to produce low frequencies to fill the bass gaps.
In other words, I have a "bass" inside this guitar!
Briefly, it works like this: The neck pickup's signal (that captures only the upper three strings) goes through a octave down pedal straight to a bass amp while the other pickups signal goes to the guitar amp.
This is possible because I use a stereo jack. So "bass" and guitar signals travel in parallel until they get to a "Y pedal" that splits stereo signal through two mono paths. And that's it!
Let's make things clear here before gear nerds start to blablabla.
A noiseles P90 is NOT a real P90 pickup. It's a humbucker pickup.
Yes! It's a humbucker pickup with it's two coils wired in RWRP.
The only difference here is that it's coils are stacked one on the top of the other. But its a humbucker pickup!
That said, I really liked how it sounds! It's spanky and nasty with coils in parallel and really beefy with coils in series.
I use a push-push potentiometer to switch between parallel and series connexion between coils. And I also use a "cocked wah" tone capacitor*** instead of a regular muddy tone capacitor.
In my opinion, it added two great tone possibilities to this already versatile pickup.
Spread love, peace and tone!

***Cocked Wah capacitor is a lower value capacitor (added to your guitar harness in order to simulate that "sweet spot" in a wah wah pedal that boosts midrange giving some "meat" for riffs and solos. In this case, the Cocked Wah capacitor doesn't "boost" any frequency. It just cuts high and low frequencies letting just the midrange pass.
A cocked wah capacitor is usually from 0.010uF up to 0.047uF (or as your taste). In this video, I used a 0.022uF capacitor that gives that nasal tone to those P90 pickups.
Billy Gibbons tone on ZZTop's "La grange" main riff, Mick Ronson's tone on David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" are good examples, but I think the best example of a cocked wah tone is Mark Knopfler guitar on Dire Straits "Money for nothing".
