Title: Which pickups for SG?
Post by: james on May 15, 2006, 03:58:07 AM

Hey.

I scored a Gibson SG firebrand off ebay, and it has some cheap after market humbuckers.

I'm definetly going to replaced them with BKP's, but I'm not sure which kind would be best. I usually play stuff anywhere from Hendrix to Muse...So it needs to have a fair amount of output, but not too much.

I was considering The Mule, as it's close to the PAF, isn't it?

What do you guys think? :)

I'd go for a Mississippi Queen neck and Abraxas bridge.  I see from your sig. you have a MQ already, so if you don't wanna double-up then I'd suggest a pair of the Abraxas pickups.

You might want to try Riff-Raffs in the SG.  A little brighter than the mule and just a touch more drive.  With the all mahogany SG, I think they will give you the PAF sound that you want, with all the clean tones.
