I've gone through the whole BK line up a few times now, and I have no idea what a good setup for me would be. I recently bought a Gibson SG baritone. I bought it because I love sg's and I'm a tall guy so the baritone feels comfortable in my hands. Im looking to make it sound like a normal guitar or as close as possible really. I play a lot of metal/hard rock but also creamy blues type stuff as well. For the humbucker combo I was thinking a cold sweat neck and nail bomb bridge might be a good option but I'm not really sure. Any suggestions? I've had the warpig before and that was pretty solid too

Wait, you want a baritone guitar to sound like a 24.75 or 25.5 scale length in E standard tuning?
What scale length is the SG?
-
What tuning are you using?
-
Right now I've got 12-54s on for the strings and I'm using B E A D F♯ B tuning. Would like to bring it up if possible
-
Oh and its 27" scale.
-
With all that... I'm no expert on SG's, but I'm thinking Black Dog, unless that would be too middy, in which case maybe Cold Sweat.
-
The thing will be insanely bright... I don't think baritone was a good idea for standard. Get something really mellow.

I have a couple of 27's with ss frets (to add more trebble) and a walnut top, in such a bright guitar (the one in my avatar) not even the Warpig is dark at all, believe me, what you seek is not easy.
