Mine came with Probuckers, at least the factory stickers said Probuckers on them.

Epi's gradually increasing the models they put Probuckers in, they must be getting into the SG line now.

Re: Pups for an Epi SG
I can’t remember if mine said Probuckers or Classic Pros. I haven’t heard of a G400 having Pro Buckers but maybe they are calling the Classic Pros “Pro Buckers”.

Re: Pups for an Epi SG
Alright so I’m narrowing down what I might put in my Epi SG for a classic rock/AC/DC, Zeppelin sound.
59 neck/WLH bridge
59 neck/Custom 8
59 neck/Alt 8
Saturday Night Special set
Anyone have a preference from these listed above? I’m probably going to go with black open coils.

Thanks I might just order the WLH set for simplicity. Should ROCK in the SG.

WLH (warm) or '59 (bright) sets, or a Custom variant with a '59N. My favorite mags for Customs are UOA5's (vintage texture) and A8's (full and powerful).

Re: Pups for an Epi SG
OK so I guess I am losing it, they are Classic Pro pickups, sorry for the confusion. I must've mistook the Pro on the sticker as Probucker, it was certainly large enough to be confusing. Not terrible by any stretch, certainly better than some older Epi pickups I've come across.
For schitts and giggles I threw in the SNS set I have to see how they sound in it.

Re: Pups for an Epi SG
I like them well enough. I much prefer an A5 mag pickup like the 59 or the C5 though. This makes a nice complimentary setup but for lack of a better term they're more hollow sounding to me. A decent bark when you get on them and more wire-y sounding. They didn't stay in my Mira, I put them in a Melody Maker-ish guitar I have and they were good but not quite right for that guitar either. We'll see if they've found a home here in this guitar? Got a few rehearsals coming up so I'll shake it down and I guess I'll know shortly.
I don't mean they're bad pickups, I just need to hear certain things that maybe these aren't right for.

Re: Pups for an Epi SG
I’m split between the WLH for a bridge or C5. My LP has that Classic sound so I want the SG to sound more modern. What do you recommend?

Re: Pups for an Epi SG
I thought the C5 was a little overwhelming in an SG, like I was hearing the pickup more than the sound of the guitar. I don't feel like that when I use them in a Les Paul. It would be the more "modern" sounding of the 2 pickups though I would imagine.
