Question about two Antiquity JB pickups with different outputs

[JB6464]

I have a Ant JB in my Tele Deluxe that is 16.25K output and it sounds great .
I am looking at buying another one for my other guitar and it's a Zebra Ant JB that is 16.97K output .

Would you say that is a drastic difference in output ?
Or would I not really be able to hear that difference at all ?

I doubt I'll ever find two exactly the same in output but I would like to keep the output of the two close enough where I couldn't really hear the difference so I'm not sure how far apart in dc would be acceptable .

That's enough variance within production tolerances that you may notice. The hotter JB will probably be a little louder but it'll be the JB flavor all the same.

An 8.2 '59 & 8.9 '59 would sound different. That's how I would see it

I don't know if I would notice that difference. Those readings differ with temperature, and other factors. I say go for it.

yeah, i wouldnt worry about it

It would be interesting, if you did get the second one, to see what the readings for both were using the same equipment and the same method at the same temperature, etc.

That's only a 4% difference, so technically within tolerance either way. The JB's they're replicating had a much broader variance based on the many examples I've owned. Plus, if you're not measuring them at the same time, under the same conditions, then those figures don't offer a reliable point of comparison to begin with. I think you'll be plenty happy with both!
