I'm not a techie by any means...
I'm certainly not saying that you haven't got a point but can a seller of secondhand goods be held responsible for a manufacturers variation, which may well be within the stated tolerance.
What we all want to know is if the 7.7k pickup sounds any different to an 8.4k pickup.
Just saying.
He compared the new pickups to his old ones and then to the manufacturers spec that I had copied and pasted, as - the manufacturer description and spec, and they were different.
The point about can a private seller of secondhand goods be held to a difference in output versus the manufacturer website is one we could go off on a totally different and legal tangent - which I'd rather not do lol.
@Ossyrocks - Out of interest, what are the resistances of the other set?

Tell a person to hold the pickup in their hand for 5 minutes and take the reading again - it will be different to what they read before.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Not that it helps, but BKP always write the actual DCR measurement of that particular pickup on the warranty card (which presumably you didn't have in this case, since they came in a guitar).
It would be interesting to know what that said and if it was intentionally underwound.

1) One of Bare Knuckles problems is not marking their pickups with model name or position (other than paper tag on the lead wire which always comes off). This means that someone could have a stormy Monday or a Riff Raff and through not recalling accurately think they have a mule.
