Check out this SG !

When I got it, the original humbucker had been replaced with a 3 way pickup - it was a switchable P90/single coil and you could run both together for a humbucker sound. The toggle switch was set up to switch between these 3 positions and the pickgaurd thats still on there is covering up the routing for the tone knob that was removed. The 3 way pickup was fun, but it wasnt as good as a dedicated P90, single coil or humbucker, so I swapped it out for a black winter bridge pup. I primarily play black metal on this thing, so I left the tone knob off and made the 3 way toggle into an on/off kill switch.

This thing fuckin rips. Lotta bark & beef. I don't have many guitars but this one is the standout favorite of the couple I have.

Anybody out there have a similar single pickup SG ? What kind of modifications do y'all make to SGs like this ?

Congrats. I had one back in the '94-'95 time frame. Bought it new for I think $350. Killer guitars if you are into SGs.
 
I have three of them. Well, two are SG-1s and one is an SG-X, but they are identical. All three have been routed for a neck pickup.

FYI, yours is a 1998, not a 94. Mine are a 98, a 99, and a 2001 if I remember correctly.

What makes you say its a 98 ? Previous owner & serial number lookup both say 94
 
I worked for a Gibson dealer from ‘96 ‘til 2000 and they came out while I was working there.
