Just got these handwound Jaguar pickups in from the UK and am actually getting a different guitar so don't really have any need for these anymore unfortunately. I did pop them into a Jaguar and they do sound really great, a lot more mid-range presence to them and a sweeter low end. Other than that, they are basically brand new. A great option for someone looking for something a little different with their Jaguar.

FYI, these include the pickups (neck and bridge), covers, and claws, already potted. I opted for the Mid-Range version with alnico V magnets in both pickups.

Here's some info from the manufacturer:
Alt '88 Jaguar Pickups

Loud, Quiet, Loud - Fatter, Fuller with more mid-range or Brighter, Attacking Versions. Designed for more Indie/Alternative styles & sounds

Magnets: Alnico 2 or 5
Coil Wire: 42AWG or 43AWG Plain Enamel
Lead Wire: Vintage Cloth with separate ground wire for the claw
Alt '88 Treble - Bridge: 8.4k
Alt '88 Mid-Range - Bridge: 10.3k
Alt '88 Treble - Neck: 7.5k
Alt '88 Mid-Range - Neck: 9.4k

The Alt '88 pickup was inspired by the alternative music scene of the mid-to-late '80s and after feedback from Jaguar players the design has now been split into two distinct versions. Whereas the the "Alt '88 - Mid-Range" uses the same taller, stronger rod magnets but is wound with thinner 43awg coil wire for a fatter, fuller, more mid-range voice, the "Alt '88 - Treble" uses thicker 42awg coil wire and taller, stronger rod magnets for a brighter, more cutting, attacking sound. Both have been designed to have similar, higher, more powerful outputs - the difference comes from how they're voiced.

With more in the higher frequencies the "Alt '88 - Treble" can dominate in the mix a little more, that bit more aggressive, attacking, cutting - the brash side to its darker, warmer alternative.

With less in the higher frequencies the "Alt '88 - Mid-Range" sits in the band mix better, not as dominant as the 'Treble' version, a little sweeter, less brittle, a little fuller, a little darker - the more melancholy side to its brash alternative.
