    sg stadard for slide

    so yeah. ive just ordered an sg standard which i will be using exclusively for slide. It has the gibson 490r/498t combo.
    im gonna play it for a few weeks and see how the gibson pups go ....any experience with them would be welcomed.

    i also have a 59n(a2) and a PGb in my house which i might try if i don't like the gibsons.

    However, i'm kinda wondering about a cc in the bridge to complement an a259 in the neck.
    Thoughts?
    i don't want it to be as hot as a JB and im guessing that the pg might be a little thin in the low end for an SG.
    Thick and warm would be a good thing.
    This stuff is all conjecture until i hear how the axe sounds unplugged for a few weeks so i can hear what needs accentuating or filling in but its cool to open discussion.

    ok...ideas please....

    I have a 2007 SG Standard that came stock with the 490 set. The stock electronics in that guitar actually sounded pretty good; far better than (supposedly) the same models in longcat's LP. I first replaced them with a set of '59s and 500K pots, those have since been replaced with a set of Phat Cats.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

        I've played slide on everything. Any Gibson pickups that aren't ceramic will do the job IMO
