Crawler in a Gibson SG

[Dave Sloven]

Putting a BKP into a Gibson SG can be a bit of a cr@p shoot as everyone knows, perhaps because BKPs are very open and sensitive to the acoustics of guitars, and I've read a few times here that Crawlers aren't good in SGs.

This one sounds pretty good!  Looks like fairly recent (e.g., 2001-2012) SG Special to me.

I wouldn't use it for the styles of music I play but it works for what he's doing

Yeah, even the Crawler is articulate and clear. It performs excellent in my swampash strat. Normally you would not pick a Crawler for a big lump of mahogany, but that's a generic view. The vid shows you'd better select a pickup to the natural tonespectrum of a guitar. The cleans miss a bit sparkle though in this vid.

That could be due to the amp, to EQ, or technique, or a number of other things, rather than the pickup.  There seems to be a basic level of clarity there, which is encouraging I guess to those in the market for this kind of sound

[Telerocker]

True and my Crawler is maybe not in mahogany, it regularly slams a Rockerverb like in the vid (or perhaps a Thunderverb, I couldn't recognise that exactly.)
