Does anybody know what the difference is between the Enforcer Humbucking PUPS on the Classic Player Jaguar vs. the Enforcer "Wide Range" Humbuckers on the Pawn Shop Mustang Special?

I do not know, but on a hunch... none at all.
Other than size...
The original Wide Range humbuckers from the '70's were designed by Seth Lover after leaving Gibson. There were not exactly like Gibson style humbuckers, they were physically larger and used a crazy magnet material, CuNiFi, for the screws used as pole peices etc. etc. Interesting, cool, unique pickups.
Sometime ago, they started doing reissues of the some the '70's guitars that used those pickups, like my '72 Tele Custom (aka 'the best tele I have played'). When they recreated the 'wide range' humbuckers, they did NOT redo the original Seth Lover design from the '70's.
The current 'wide range' pickups are basically normal humbuckers, made the normal way, but with some spacers in between the coils to match the footprint of the original '70's pickups.
Still with me?
So what is the difference? I think the Jag's use the standard humbucker size, the pawn shop uses the wide range form factor like my Tele. So I suspect the 'wide range' enforcer is just an enforcer with the wide range footprint and covers.
