Invader for my Gibson SG Special

[escobarf]

Hi, I need your advice now. I bought a SD Pearly Gates (neck) for changing the stock pups of my SG. I have an Invader for the bridge and too much doubts about the quality of this pickup for that guitar.
Please can you tell me if you think is a good combination for my SG (PG neck - Invader bridge).

Many thanks in advance and best regards from Spain (and happy new year too),

Pedro

The Invader is a very good pup for an SG. Pepper Keenan from Corrosion of Conformity has one in an SG and it sounds awesome. You can also hear one in an SG on Down's CD, NOLA. He plays through a Triple Rectifier and it sounds HUGE!!!!!:smokin:

Actually Pepper uses Anderson H3's in most of his Vipers. Its Woody Weatherman of COC that uses the Invader in the bridge with a PG neck. And on Down's Nola it's Kirk who has the Invader in his Gothic SG along with stock Gibson V and Pepper's Vipers. On the Amps these guy's use it would be hard not to find a good tone with an Invader and such.

If the Invader isn't working out for you try a Custom. Many a forum bro here will recommend that combo.

Thanxs! Really this sound tremendous (Tremendo guitarron) here http://www.down-nola.com/videos/EyesoftheSouth.wmv

Now I have not any doubt about the Invader: it's the pickup what I need.

How does it sound to you? Worry about that

On a side note, doesn't Pepper use a Mesa .50 Cal?

Excuse me Chris but I can not understand. What's the problem about it? I have a pseudofender axe with soft pups (the next step is changing hb for a Humbucker from the Hell-DiMarzio).

Yea for recording, but for live he uses a Mesa Recto Rack setup. I'd love to have either one.

What I meant was make your decision based on how the pickup sounds in the guitar. Also, you know that the DiMarzio Humbucker from Hell sounds like a single coil, right?
