Nothing I've seen indicates that they are, at least in the marketing materials.

Re: La Brea Brad Paisley Telecaster Pickups
The La Brea bridge pickup with the A4 magnet feels a bit more balanced to me, it's got a punchier tone and a bit more tightness in the low end than an A2, but with slightly less bite and brightness in the high end than an A5. I played these pickups a bit at NAMM and was really impressed with how well the bridge pickup adapted to some harder rocking style riffing/soloing with high gain. Seems like they're just balanced perfectly for someone who wants to play cleaner country-style licks but likes to throw in some harder edged stuff in the mix too.

So cool that you got to try the La Brea at NAMM! I have a '59 humbucker in the neck of my Tele and I thought to get a SD Broadcaster bridge. That's still an option, but a Duncan rep recommended the "La Brea" bridge. There's not much info on the pickup at this stage. Do you have experience with the Broadcaster pickup as well?

AWG #42 or #43 on the bridge? The neck seems to be #43...
JD, one of my all time favs is ~7.80K #43. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it could be a tad more bitey in the highs, it could have a bit more presence you know... I think I would love them with A3's... Anyways, this is one of the reasons I've ended up using Hamel's STD-B at 9K (which died on me and rewound by Ron Ellis to the same specs :smokin: ). It's A3, not A2 and 9K with #43... That is why I am quite curious about those LaBreas!
