Re: PRS schematic with SG and normal aftermarket pups?
Changing the tone pots to 500k push/pulls will not change tour tone. Personally I would wire a 4 pot guitar with the Jimmy Page wiring. That way you can split either pickup individually and both split will be hum cancelling. You'll also get the individual coils linked in series as does the PRS wiring. The PRS wiring offers 5 coil options, the Jimmy Page offers 21. It makes for an amazingly versatile guitar.
You can use the stock capacitors or get something a little fancier. I find the green mylar caps Gibson uses work fine but some folks like the Sprague orange drops better. Just don't use the ceramic disks commonly found all over the place. Most people think they sound less than average.
The JP wiring or the simple splits I described will both leave your guitar funtioning normally until one or more of the pots are pulled. The JP wiring schematic is available at the Gibson site and I'll get you a link, the other diagram I'd have to ask Artie to draw up.
The JP wiring is bad-arse and I have it in a couple of my Les Pauls. You really need to check it out.
A CC in the bridge and an APH-II neck model will warm that SG up nicely and will have plenty of balls to get any job done while retaining killer clean tones.
