It either sounds like a P-90 and hums or it hum-cancels but the tone and dynamics are wrong.
The pickup makers on this forum could probably write a thesis on exactly why this is so.
It is possible that a dummy coil could be included in circuit to reduce hum and RF interference but it may introduce new problems.
My suggestion is to invest in a noise gate with separate Threshold and Release settings for clean and overdrive.
I love the warm clarity at lower gain levels followed by the lovely fizzy 'snarl' as they get cranked.
However, despite sharing a language, we don't share universal interchangeable experiences of sound & tone (if only...).
YMMV etc.
They feel quite different, however, much more like humbuckers, which isn’t bad per se, but not the same.

The stock pickups in the PRS McCarty Soapbar were Duncan OEM SP90-1N and SP90-3N models. (Yes. Two “neck” position pickups.) The stacked coil units must have been retro-fitted - possibly with the cavities deepened to accommodate them.
Honestly, I kinda wish I had Lollars, they sound grittier, but Fralins are great too.
