yup .  you can cut them up and get 3 .  the only real difference in some pickup sets is they have a different  rating designed for their position ,  but hardly even noticeable unless all in the same guitar . 

hack away at  it .  get 3 for 1 . 

* tip- position your pickup closer to the neck  for a warmer deeper tone ,,,  or towards the bridge for a brighter tone .

Pick is right, you can separate them into 3 guitars if you want.

If you decide to use 2 in a guitar, use the middle pickup with either of the other 2 so you'll have hum-cancelling when using both.

They are just parts, 3 gits worth.

Take a little cheap compass from a box of cracker jacks or similar and see which end, N or S, points at the top of the pickup.  On the double coil each should be different, that's your hummbucker.  If your single coil pickups show different magnetic poles pointing up you have the option of pairing them for a hummbucker as well.
