What is this SD pickup?

[Mephis]

I had long thought it to be a JB. It had a sort of harsh edge (Leads were scratchy sounding) to it and it didn't sound very strong. It was very grindy also. It came out of my kramer beretta.

But I put it on the tester and it shows 13.73k! That certantly can't be a JB. Then I tested the coils, very close to 7k on each.

It also has a black back plate. Here's some pictures:

I would imagine its one of the customs based on that reading.

One of Roman's infamous Blackbacks perhaps?

That seems to be Black Back bridge pickup. Check out this thread:

As soon as I change my strings, it and the EMG afterburner will be going in the carvin and I will get clips.
