I'm seeking a tone similar to Tony Iommi on the first 2 Sabbath albums but with a little added warmth and dynamics. In other words, sort of vintage sounding but with a slight hint of a more modern sound. I want to get good cut (think 16 notes on Paranoid) and a smooth, warm tone on bar chords. A little raspy (like the A power chord in Cream's Sunshine of Your Love") is better than over the top distortion with no distinctness of notes. I guess what I'm trying to say is "crunch with warmness" a little scooped. I'm not looking for a lot of chunk in the bass or low mids.
From what I've read and listened to here on the site I'm thinking Screamin Demon in bridge and 59' in neck. Or possibly even 59's in both postions would work for me. How do you think these pickups will sound with the wood of an SG?
