- I recently installed the Whole Lotta Humbucker (neck/bridge) set in my SG and I'm really blown away by the sound. I've played many guitars but these are the best sounding pickups I've ever played. Originally the SG had 490's which were completely uninspiring. Additionally I installed the triple shots which give me coil splitting and parallel switching options in addition to the standard series configuration. The fullest sound is series of course but I was surprised at how usable parallel and coil splitting is. I'd recommend both products for sure!
