On a whim, I picked up a Gibson SG last night. I'm pretty sure it needs new PU's, tuners and a dimarzio cliplok strap. What are some good pu's for an SG? I'm thinking about a Dmz Gravity Storm (b) and a Duncan 59' (n). Would that work for hi gain and a classic neck sound, or should I look for something else? What are some good SG pu's for hard rock on the verge of metal?

Also, should I go with Gotoh, Sperzel, Schaller, Planet waves or GFS locking tuners?
 
DiMarzio Super Distortion is a great hard rock pickup. Tom Scholz, Barry Goodreau, Ace Frehley, etc...can't be wrong.
 
I'm sure that's a fine pickup, but your references haven't been relevant in almost 50 years
Nazgul/Sentient is a solid choice, but if you have $ look at BK
 
Nazgul/Sentient pickups for a 6 string? I didn't think they were available yet.

If so, that's my vote. Badass pickups that sound absolutely great clean too!

That is true

Looks like the Nazgul is for 7/8 stringers, my bad :doh:
I still love me some BKs, I need a set for my SG when funds permit
 
I'm thinking dual Iommis for my SG Standard...

They just rip here.
