These are USA made pickups.  Specs seem weird, but who knows?

Of course, with a little more $ get some Tom Andersons and get the option to split.

I cannot remember who introduced over-sized rod magnet poles first, SD or SGR? This would have been back in the days when Schecter only offered guitar hardware, bodies and necks.

The original Schecter single coils had the option to coil tap to approximately fifty percent DC resistance. Mark Knopfler had a phase of using Schecter Stratocasters that featured Monstertone single coils, governed with three on/off/on mini toggles, master volume and master tone controls.

Yeah - the 50% difference seems typical, but I was referring to the 3.0K tapped spec. The originals per RB's ex-tech were in the 6's.

Not seeing any reviews, I'd opt for Andersons sight unseen. That being said Blackmore also used Gold Laces.

I really like my Andersons and have played a few dozen different sets all in different brand new Anderson guitars and I liked every one I played. Should track down that crazy guy that has 20 of them he bought as an investment.
