My two cents, the WR are wound hot, but the bobbins are much wider and flatter than a PAF style humbucker, which has a lot to do with their warmth and bass response. The pole piece magnets counter act this bassy tendency and provide a more articulate string response. My understanding is that Seth Lover would have used alnico V rods, but they are too brittle and they cannot be machined with threads, so he used cunife instead. I would think that if you have the bobbin shaped right and the coil wound to about 10.5, the cloest rod magnet to alnico V that you can get to take threading will get you where you want to be.
BTW--Telenator, thanks for this thread and all your efforts. As a long time WR user and fan, I really appreciate your efforts.
