I wanted to archive this information. Taken from OffsetGuitars.com forum

Fender AVRI
Official reissue of a ’62-ish jaguar pickup. Good quality, faithful recreation of the vintage sound. Cloth covered hookup wire.

Decent recreation of the vintage sound. Are known to produce a lot of unwanted feedback when distorted.

Overwound pickup using long, 1/4″ thick Alnico V rod magnets. High output and a lot more emphasis on the mids. PVC covered hookup wire.
Semour Duncan Antiquity I for Jaguar
High quality detailed replica of an early black bottom jaguar pickup. These pickups have been slightly demagnitized to accurately simulate the sound of an aged original. Alnico II magnets. Cloth covered hookup wire.
Semour Duncan Antiquity II for Jaguar
High quality detailed replica of a mid 60s grey bottom jaguar pickup. These pickups have been slightly demagnitized to accurately simulate the sound of an aged original. Alnico V magnets. Cloth covered hookup wire.
Curtis Novak Jaguar pickups
High quality custom made vintage replicas. Although based on an original ’64 pickup, since they are custom, you can have them wound to suit your specific requirements. Options include Alnico II / III / V magnets, and enamel / formvar wire.

Note: Seymour Duncan pickups are in some cases wound differently than stock pickups, so for instance a SD neck pup and Fender bridge pup might not provide hum cancelling in the middle position, and may have phase issues. Apparently this isn’t always the case, but it’s something to look out for.
