New pups for SG

Re: New pups for SG

I just replaced the stock pups in my Standard SG with a 59N/Custom setup.


What a difference that made! The 59 rings like a bell...sweet clean tones through my marshall DSL.

The Custom is a little bit much on the treble side compared to my Strat which has the same pup...but I was expecting that in the SG. This thing really sings...sweet tone, great sustain, and good harmonics.

Same thing in a Les Paul....the Custom in my G400 has a noticebly more amount of high-end than the Custom in my LP, and I also expected that. I'd imagine a lot of it has to do with the wood thickness and size plus the LP having a carved maple top instead of a solid mahogany body like the G. I'm curious how much different the Custom sounds in the Strat. I'd love to hear some soundbytes if anybody has some.
I'm really stuck on the Custom humbucker....it really fits the type of music I play, which is basically classic rock and blues.

Re: New pups for SG

Same here. I have the Custom in my SG, Strat and LP.


I don't really have a great microphone, but I can try making some sound clips of the Strat vs SG this weekend.


The Custom in the strat sounds awesome...really thick, chunky tone while still being perfectly clear.
