A JB / Jr. with rails instead of screws , would that make it a Hotrails pickup

[JB6464]

Since most of the single coil humbuckers have a ceramic mags in them and the Hotrails and JB/Jr. are pretty close in output , could there be much difference in tone ?
I would like to have a JB/Jr. but I'm not in love with the tiny double rows of micro size screws , would much rather have rails .
So after looking at the Hotrails and the JB / Jr. they both have a ceramic mag and pretty close in output so I'm wondering is it pretty much the same pickup but one with screws and the other with rails .

I don't have the knowledge to explain why but it's probably in here https://seymourduncan.zendesk.com/h...-Learn-About-Pickups-Chapter-5-Digging-Deeper

My first assumption would be signal decay.

If you’re asking whether the two pickups sound similar, then not really.

they dont sound all that similar and im sure it has to do with more than just the rails

To me, they are very different sounding pickups. I don't know if you can boil it down to simply 'this magnet sounds this way'.
