Just bought a set off of reverb, white label PRS dragon I treble and bass.
Except the seller says the bridge pickup reads 17k instead of 19k. Which has gotten me a teeny bit worried about their legitimacy..Not looking to cause any trouble.. but...

Has there ever been a set of Dragon I pickups with a bridge reading 17k? Is there a way to verify that these are legit Dragon I pickups? Included some photos from the listing.

Legit. I was watching those on reverb for a while to try out in my KL33.
 
Wonder what the tolerance range would be for pickup output? If 19k is the "nominal" but 17k is the actual, that's just over 10% off. That seems fairly high but what I don't know about pickup manufacturing will just about fit into the Grand Canyon.
 
I measured the one in my 1997 CU22 and it clocks in at 17.77 K.
Those labels seems to peg them at around 1993. It's probably expected to see some variance, especially in those days (?)
I think it's legit.
