Those use typical Gibson-style pickup construction, and don't really sound like a WR at all from reviews I've read. The Novak at least has construction details closer to a true WR.
Yeah I have one and they don't sound like a WRHB, even reissue. I'm also pretty sure they're ceramic magnet.

crazy. other than the exposed pole piece configuration, i wonder why they bother calling them that. seems kinda silly.
