You will have a central magnet - like on any humbucker - I believe this is the alnico 5 magnet
However on the outside of the screw polpieces you have flanking magnets where the wooden spacers would be on a vintage PAF
These are the ceramic magnets.

Many pickups have used the centre and flanking magnet arrangement (usually all ceramic though)
First time I heard of it was in Dimarzio Super Distortions and X2Ns (these were not the first to do it though)

the x2n has the flankers, but I believe the super distortion has only a thick center magnet
the gibson dirty fingers and 500t have the flankers
and so do the painkiller and aftermath
I suppose the jugs concept comes straight from underwinding the aftermath and swapping the center magnet for a thick alnico 5 bar, which is a great move

I like the sound of these pickups in the Explorer.

Looking at the EQ chart I wonder how these would sound in an SG.  The mid hump is not a good omen.  Depending on where exactly in the mids it falls, it could provide an overbearing middy rasp, like in the videos I've seen of a Painkiller in an SG.  I might be wrong though, because an EQ just for 'mids' doesn't tell the whole story.  If some brave soul can try them in one I'd be interested to read the review

I don't like any of the demos I've heard so far on these, it doesn't cut through the mix very well and sounds really weird on the low strings.

My Jug will arrive at this week. I had Aftermath and Painkiller too. After I install and test it I will make some demos and share my experiences and the samples here. Guitar has swamp ash body, maple bolt-on neck.

Correct me if I`m wrong, Juggs were created especially with lower tunings in mind, is that right? So basically that`s the area where they work at their best? And would they cope with lower tunings (flat E and C sharp in particular) better than Miracle Man set (modern metal playing style).
just a little bit in doubt  :D

considering it's low mid heavy voicing, I don't see why it would sound any less good than in lower tunings

Since when is Eb and C# considered a low tuning :lol:
Take it from a dude that plays in Drop-A and just received his set of Juggernaut 7s today

C# is low tuning. Or at least it seemed that way when Masters of Reality came out.  B standard is as low as I have ever tuned anything.

I wouldn't call Eb low tuning.  It's been used for a very long time now.
