Any ideas on the approx wind count for the inner vs outer portion?

Yean would love to know the value of the pot, and if you have a guassmeter readings off the magnets would be useful. I always wondered what was under the hood on those pickups and never was able to find the patent number for it.

don't the other 2 poles suffer tone or volume loss as a result of no wire being round them, or is that wire around each pole?

Well my take on it is that some wire is wrapped around the bottom 4 strings, then the other two pole pieces are inserted and the remainder of the coil wrapped.

My gut tells me the purpose was to soften the B & E string by having less of the coil around them. I would further guess that this started with the non-adjustable pole piece 1000 model, then when they moved to the 1100 that they didnt stop the procedure even though they could now adjust the pole piece to get a similar effect.
