Gibson 84T electrical values

[antigua]

A few years ago I bought a "Lee Malia signature Epiphone Les Paul Artisan", and it featured a P-94 as the neck pickup, and the bridge pickup was supposed to be an "84T-LM", but it turns out I got lucky because my copy of that guitar came with a plain old "84T". This pickup is supposedly meant to mimic a custom Seymour Duncan that was in one of Eddie Van Halen's guitar's, but it measures pretty much the same as a JB. 

Gibson 84T

Bridge
- DC Resistance: 16.305K ohms
- Q @1khz: 2.03
- Measured L: 8.103H
- Calculated C: 72.28pF (6 inch shielded lead)
- Gauss: 250G (AlNiCo 5)


I'm thinking of putting this pickup into a guitar, so I wanted to document these values because it becomes a lot more difficult.

Dear Antigua, could you please check if this pickup has maybe more treble roll off when compared to the JB, because of the thicker metal pole pieces?
I remember a thread of some years ago, where maybe a Dimarzio Super Distortion, had more treble attenuation than what the values would imply, and you found that this was much due to the thick pole pieces, too.
Just out of curiosity.. Thank you!

These screws are the normal PAF type, but with a hex head, where as Super Distortion screws are full sized grub screws, so the overall steel mass is lower in these pickups than an JB. The original Gibson 84T also had six slugs and six screws. I'd expect that twelve filister screws results in a slightly higher Q factor.
