The two coils in Kinman Strat and Tele pickup are wired in series and it’s very difficult to change that connection to parallel. Anyway, because the noise sensing coil has a low impedance there is no advantage with a parallel configuration. What will happen is the output will drop to a very low level and the sound will become very thin and weak.
