Re: seymours for SG
i just tried a few sets of pickups in my SG including a PG bridge which i found a little lacking on low end compared to the alnicoII'59 model i have in the neck. Ive ended up with a custom custom in the bridge which matches up quite nicely.
I reckon you could probably do well with a 59, or an APH in the neck, but something a little hotter in the bridge addresses the inherent characteristics of an SG nicely.

A pair of '59's works well in SG's, as would a pair of A2P's, which are very good PU's. '59's would have more treble and bass, with scooped mids. A2P's are warmer, fuller with more mids.

Would imagine so the pickup that MJ made for Angus is a PG with a degaussed mag.

When I bought my SG Standard, I immediately swapped the 490s for a pair of '59s and played it that way for a couple years. It sounded pretty good, but wasn't 100% what I was looking for tone-wise. Last summer I swapped again to a pair of Phat Cats and it's much closer. I think the final step will be getting rid of the Phat Cat's A2s for A4/A5 in the neck and A5/A8 in the bridge.

Those are great magnet pairs I came up with a few years ago. Work great in any P-90, and in warm woods they're much better than the stock A2's in Phat Cats.
