Epiphone SG -- Nazgul, Pegasus, Custom, or BW?

Re: Epiphone SG -- Nazgul, Pegasus, Custom, or BW?

Any particular reason why? The consensus seems to be that the Nazgul isn't a terribly clear pickup.

Eh I don't think EMG's would be a good fit, the only actives I've liked are Loomis' sig pickups and Fishmans, both of which seem better suited to different guitars.

Nazgul is clear. But from time to time, I find it rather lifeless, sterile, or cold-sounding. For certain music styles such as melodic death, metalcore or modern alternative metal it is okay. With Black Winters, you can cover more range. Add to your br00talz things like crossover, hardcore, also classic heavy metal. Nazgul would struggle with those.
