To ruin the guitar, I would have to convert it to 25.5" scale and add single coils....

You don’t have a compass?
What the ....?
Why haven’t you made one then?
It only takes a few minutes, a pin, a magnet, a small shallow container for a little water, and a cork(they’re not just for sniffing...I promise)....
WTF man?!?!

OP
So, in theory then, rotating either pickup - 180° - would restore the phase between them????
No. This is a common misconception. The magnet has to be rotated in respect to its own coil.
Simply rotating the whole pickup doesn’t change that.
OP
Hmmmmm....

When you rotate the pickup you rotate both the magnet and the coil. They cancel each other out. You need to rotate either but not both.
