There are many ways around the 60 cycle hum of single coils.

These guys sell pickups that eliminate, or severely reduce the interference:

Interesting. I would be curious to hear how they manage noise canceling of 60 hz hum whilst remaining a single coil. I've put a few different dual-rail, single-coil-size pickups into a couple different Strats and Teles, but those are obviously humbuckers and their sound reflects that.

May be worth a purchase and investigation; thanks for the tip!

I think they have a small dummy coil in there that's not active. It's essentially a stacked humbucker in single coil mode, If I remember correctly. I may be wrong, though.
