My 1987 SG with vintage Shawbuckers gets the job done very, very nicely....

Good point about the importance of the SG. They are just midrange machines in an awesome way. And not warm mids…gnarly bitey mids. I need one now

I'm gonna be that guy who thinks, hey he said "AC/DC tone", not Angus's tone. The heart of AC/DC's tone is Malcom playing a Gretsch with a Filtertron bridge pickup into a cranked '71 Super Bass. I'd go with a universal mount TV Jones Classic, or maybe a Powertron in you want a little more PAF vibe blended with the Filtertron's bright cutting tone.

I have the Powertrons in my Tele and they absolutely kill. They’re way underrated

I ordered Warmoth parts for a Meadowhawk build and it will have a powertron in the bridge position. Killer pickups! About four more weeks for the parts to arrive...
I was totally thinking of a Malcolm/Angus hybrid...

They sound great with both a little or a lot of gain

I had one in the bridge of a '78 Les Paul SG Custom, and like you said it was killer. I just couldn't gel with the super thin width at the nut. I have pretty skinny fingers, and even with my skeleton fingers could not get certain open position chords to ring out because of muted strings.

no, use the TV Jones Classic neck pickup or simliar in the bridge. the fat comes from the strings (pure nickel wound with wound G 12-56)...
