When I hear SG I assume it full mahogany, in which case I'd say just get the Nazgul.
With a maple neck the Invader should be a good match. It's just as Mincer always says,,,"all mids". It's not a boomy lows pickup, but the lower-mids are huge.
The reason I don't like it for full-hog guitars is that it's mag-strength combined with the high dcr make for a compressed attack that sits better in a guitar with a harder more percussive attack, and most full-hogs are the opposite IME.
For an aggressive death metal attack in full-hogs go with a strong ceramic mag and high-output combined with a more modest dcr and an eq with an upper-mids spike.

Tone changed a lot!
In terms of clarity/tightness it really became similar to SH6, a huge improvement. Output decreased. I guess it lost maybe 40% of low end. High-end and mids haven't changed a lot to my ears and retained Invader's cool rawness. Overall feel is better to my taste then SH6.
But IMO it still lacks high-end. And maybe i miss a little bit of monstrous slow palm muted chugga chugga which non-modded Invader had. I realize this is a a charge for acquired clarity, but maybe i'd like to have a bit more of Invader's power in these terms, at least for low-end-lacking SG.
Anyway that's a cool mod i think, I'll play for a couple of days with this configuration until i receive 1000K volume pot and caps which i ordered. And then try
1) Modded Invader + 1000k pot
2) Stock Invader + 1000k pot
3) Stock Invader +1000k pot + cap
4) Invader in parallel
