Except for Series I/II pickups we make stacked humcancelling pickups. There is a coil near the strings with a magnetic core and a humcancelling non-magnetic core coil directly below.  
 
Unlike other's pickups, we don't use them as tone controls - they just report the strings' activity to the electronics where the tone control happens.
