Is this the worlds most powerful standard scale single coil pickup?

I decided to try and design a guitar pickup for maximum coverage of the strings. When a guitar string vibrate the location of a standard pickup may determine how much harmonic content is in the signal due to the position of nodes and anti nodes. When a string is pressed the length of the string is changed and therefore the position of nodes and anti nodes also changes.
So when a chord is played or as you move up and down the neck and also across strings the harmonic content changes. Having a longer pickup allows capturing more of the movement of the string ensures that the pickup cant sit only on a node.
My first impressions were that this creates a warm acoustic-ish sound, which is not what I was expecting, but it makes sense as the pickup is similar to a sound hole/acoustic guitar which amplifies the hole strings vibration.
I didn't quite reach the 10000 turns (due to technical issues...) so this version is a little underwound, I may try a hotter version to see what it is like.
My calculation of most powerful pickup is based on length of coverage for a single coil pickup, number of magnets and number of turns. If there is a better way to calculate this, I would love to know.
Do let me know what you think of this design, and what you would change in future versions? And I may try it.
