    APH1N w/ 7.26 reading + the meaning of the printed sticker in the back

    1) My second Alnico II Pro Neck Humbucker has a 7.26 reading. Is this normal? I thought it might be a bit low. 2) The sticker on the back said ROHS-IWH21 -> what does this mean? APH1N 20070716 -> does this mean it was produced on July 16, 2007? Thanks in advance for your help!!!
