What are hum Cancelling pickups?
I usually see the term “hum-canceling” used for noiseless pickups trying to emulate single coils, as opposed to side-by-side humbuckers. The former are often different from side-by-side humbuckers, because each string is sensed by one coil instead of two, but they are humbuckers nonetheless.
How does hum Cancelling work?
The effect is the same. Because the strings on an electric guitar are made of a magnetic material (usually steel), the strings are magnetised when they get close to the pickup, and as they move they disturb this magnetic field and induce a current in the coil.
Why do single coil pickups hum?

Can a P-90 be used for humbucking?
Remember you still have 2 “pure” P-90 modes by selecting the rhythm or treble positions. I think this is a better alternative than replacing the P-90s with humbucking replacements. If you can’t stand the quiet, you can always change it back!
How to remove P-90 hum cancelling magnets?
The only similarity is the removal of the magnets, but not replacing per se. Fortunately, the P-90 covers just come right off and the only tool required is a Phillips screwdriver and perhaps a small blade screwdriver to pry out the magnets.
