I've wondered about those.

I'm a bit confused by your emojis. Looks like it's exactly as advertised - a humbucker made with twelve alnico rod poles.

I guess I was not certain of what to expect. We’ll see how they sound!

Yeah, as long as there are not bar magnets on the bottom of the pickup, it should sound similar to a WRHB. The only differnce between this and other WRHBs is the alnico rods aren’t threaded, so you can’t adjust the pole pieces.

Cool ! It will be great to have a demo to see how it sounds ! Really curious to hear that …

So, how did they sound? :-)

Not the OP but I have them in my Enterprise Jazzmaster and I think they sound great! Nice and even, good output, still kinda Jazzmastery but with the extra heft of a humbucker without being ALL humbucker heft.

Thanks! I see you went for the option with the flat pole pieces (and not the screw adjustment ones). Do you know what the diffs are? I'm considering buying one, but I'm also unsure about 2 vs 4 wires?

The primary difference is that the screw pole version has a bar magnet and is basically constructed like a Gibson-style humbucker. I don't know for sure if the winds are different or not.
