Metallica sound from an SG

[scotte]

Im looking to get a metallica sound from my epiphone sg-special with 2 pickups, namely the distortion tone in "fade to black" and "no leaf clover", and the clean tone of "nothing else matters" or "no leaf clover". obviously ill be using sd's. any advice?

no question Jazz in the neck...then maybe a Custom 5 in the bridge...maybe a JB...or maybe even a Custom or a Distortion...I woiuld go with the Custom 5/Jazz combo...the neck would be very smooth, clean and pretty...the bridge would be fat and dirty...but still able to be clean if you need it to...don't forget the JC-120 heads, and the racks of Mesa and Marshall gear!
