Pickup for AC/DC toans

[Beyond Black]

Been digging jamming old AC/DC riffage through my 72 SL and Greenback cab.
What pickup should I be playing for maximum Angus/Malcolm toans?

timber wolf, godwood, even 57 classics

wasnt there a Gibson Angusbucker at some point? id try it

I always thought classic Angus was an sg with T-tops.
I put a set of MCP T- Wrecks in an 80's SG to cop that tone, and it sounds spot on to me.
The T-wreck being Wade's take on that pu.

Dig the Godwood, Detroiter, any hotter PAF type. Seth Lover, Burstbucker 3 are good, but I think an A5 is closer
Probably the closest I got was with the Calibrated Ts in my 335.

Any ol’ PAF type will probably get her done. You really need a Filtertron to cop Malcolm but a P-90 does alright in a pinch.

That sounds more like what Iommi was getting custom wound in the late 70’s….I think

I wouldn’t recommend a Timbre Wolf after the one I tried but a Marshallhead, absolutely. Yes to 57 Classics too. Have never tried a Wagner pickup.

Lollar makes a fantastic PAF, you can also over/under wind it as well.

Usually you say some crazy shit . But it’s really this simple as you say . SG into 78 2203 for me

I watched that a few months ago. Such a cool bit of history and info on his gear. I love that they are creatures of habit and don't change things often.
