I don't want to go into the proprietary details of the design but the higher windings are only one part of the design. In this case one of the benefits of the higher winding is that it make the pickup sound richer and fuller. Many jazz guitar pickups are highwind style pickups including those by Seymour Duncan, including those he builds for Benedetto. One of the most desirable jazz guitar pickups ever designed were designed by guitarist Attila Zollar and they are extremely high wound pickups.

If you like a lighter more detailed sound that someone like Jim Hall (not entirely the best example maybe) uses the lower wound Lollar Imperials are hard to beat but the Highwinds are richer and more cello like in the style of Wes and Kenny Burrell. It's not a dramatic difference but the differences are all in the right direction and at this point there is no other pickup out there that can equal them at what these pickups do best. I heard these pickups pickups in all the versions (more wind, less win, every magnet imaginable and every wire wrapping technique, all sorts of different gauges of wire and all the other tricks) leading up to the final product and I can't see how you could possibly build a pickup better suited for jazz guitar.
