And well done

Not having it also shows off the offset f-holes much better.

Mind you I don't see that as a minus ... CuNiFe is a god awful choice of magnet material for practicality and longevity. Problem is that Fender these days don't even get the basic principals of what an original WR was about: magnetised poles rather than bar magnets, Wide, flat bobbins for bass response ... and a steel inductance plate for tone.
CuNiFi is inherently very unstable as a magnetic material, and loses its charge far faster and more easily than alnico. Many 1970s WRs have long since died through decaying magnets.

I actually think CuNiFe may have been chosen in order to make threading and slotting it easier than with Alnico, rather than for its magnetic properties, but TheGuitarWeasel will know better than me...
