Cableaddict Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Hey, folks. I have a '73 SG standard, which is completely stock except for a Callaham ABR-1 bridge, (and extra-long ss posts ala Mapleflame.) and jumbo frets. I only use this guitar for lead work in the studio, and have a super-fine LP for general use. (Plus Strats & Teles, sorry!) I am quite happy with the original T-top humbuckers, but am thinking the SG might have more personality, and more lead presence, with some kind of HB-sized single coil, like the Harmonic Designs Z-90. These might mate well with the thinner, darker-sounding body, though I've never played or heard an SG Classic. Has anyone done this already? Any opinions on the changes or trade-offs? If I were to keep the humbuckers, any opinion on the T-tops? Is there a better HB match for an SG?
damian Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I like P-94s pickups...... I also put Gibby Classic 57s in many guitars....I put a 57 and a 57+ in an SG....Great smooth sound......... As far as T-Tops go, I love them.....( If you end up not needing them, let me know )......Wolftone makes some nice HBs............... It's so very personal what works for each guitarist..........
Cableaddict Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 Good to know you like T-Tops. Best I can understand is that they are a little hotter than PAFs, and more pointed. Would you agree? I'm really hoping to find some before/after sound clips somewhere, but it's amazing hard that is to find, even on YouTube.
