I thought all potted humbuckers with open coils had that...
I too use chicken as a measurement.

They are not copper dots, they are holes in the coils.  Gibson had them on the original PAF's and all pickups which are true to the look of a PAF have them.  You can see the wire from the coil through them, but other than that, I have no idea what the purpose was.
So many pickups, so little time

did they send you an email when they dispatched the pickups?  I ordered a stormy monday on tues night so it would only have been processed yesterday, so I'm guessing if the times are about the same it'll be dispatched either tomorrow or monday?
