ddsax422 2 Report post Posted November 8 Hello, I got an SG standard about a year ago. I'm thinking about installing new pickups so I can get a sound as close as the SG standard 61. Right now I've picked two possible sets: 1. Seymour Duncan Hot-Rod set (JB & Jazz Pickups) 2. 490R & 498T pickups Which do you think I should try? I am also open to any other suggestions. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brad1 492 Report post Posted November 8 I've never played the SD's before. But I have a set of the 490/98 in my SG and I like them a lot!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rct 1,607 Report post Posted November 8 The Seymour set is the original knock off of PAFs. Low output, clear, ringing humbuckers that drive over really well. i highly recommend them. rct 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
