Still haven't found the right bridge pickup for SG

[Jedadiah]

Have you considered the Crawler? I had one in my SG Standard and it was stunning, so much so that i removed it before selling and it now sits in my LP Standard. It's a double black open coil and the only thing i would replace it with is a reverse Zebra Crawler. The sound is awesome but i think a reverse Zebra would look better in the Honeyburst i have.

That's quite a surprise. The Crawler ihmo excels in bolt-on F-type guitars (alder or ash), but I'd expect this pickup to be too middy and warm in an SG.

I would vote for either an Emerald or Abraxas.

However (typically) I would also recommend putting an earvana on if you are not getting that nice crisp treble edge to the sounds - if that ring or zing is missing.

Done it a lot to SGs and it makes a big difference - even to the extent of NOT needing new pickups

I agree with Feline. I have an Abraxas in my SG Standard. I love it! I also have a MQ neck, that is unbelievable! I also tried an Emerald bridge loaned to me by a friend. Both pickups, Em and Ab, are excellent. I highly recommend them. In your situation, I would go with the Em. I'm actually getting ready to get an Emerald bridge, MQ neck for my other SG.
