Elvis P. and Neil Young .....
No need to write a single word about the KING. He will always be my " light in the dark "
Neil Young is so much " part of my life " ... he writes the songs I'll never have talent for ....

Thanks lads. I'll study this well.

Take a look at some of the humbucker sized P-90 pickups, you'll get a much brighter sound, same fit as a humbucker. SGs with P-90s are fabulous!
Seymour Duncan
Jason Lollar P-92 ($$$$ but great)

You might also try changing the values of the pots (but keep the old ones in case you ever want to change it back...).
But 7JDH14 is right, the SG wont sound like the GL, but it might sound pretty nice!

Swapping the pickups will change the tone, but it's not gonna make your SG sound like a Legacy. There's a lot more to the Legacy tone than just the pickups.

You can put single coils in the SG. It might look strange, but I've done it before and I kinda liked it. You can either just put them right in there using the existing pickup rings, or you can use these adapters: http://www.guitarfetish.com/Humbucker-Rout-adapter-ring-Fits-Tele-Bridge-Pickup-THREE-COLORS_p_4350.html
Either way, there are humbuckers out there that sound like single coils. Just search online and you'll find them.
March 22, 2012 10:06 AM CDT
There are humbuckers pick ups, that are splittable to single coil, so you could have both sound on same guitar or blend 'em, and don't need to change them both. For example Seymour Duncan distorsion, try it in bridge position.

Does this make any sense to you?. I got a beautiful Gibson SG Standard which I don't wanna sell away. The only problem is a don't like the sound of the guitar as well as my G&L Legacy(fender strat). Than I got this idea, to buy fender pickups and put them into the gibson. Or do you know about some nice bright sounding pickups who will work aswell as fender pickups? Please share your information!

There's a little bit of Fugazi and Gun club according to me...
March 22, 2012 7:02 PM CDT
I'm beginning to think it might be a local Rochester band that pre-dated my move here in 1990. Thanks to all of you for trying!

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking...

No idea....Sounds like an early to mid -80's Post Punk thing (And , by that , I mean stuff like The Minutemen as well as experimental bands from London that only 50 people ever heard until recently....). Maybe not. The singer does'nt sound familiar. Somebody else might recognize it , tho'.

definitely wish i had the Big Beat UK Trash stuff, the Gories, the Gruesomes, anything Billy Childish, Cramps (Gravest Hits & any live recordings), Gun Club, Gravedigger V, Mummies & the 1st Meteors album.

J'etaime Le Pere Bloodshot Bill , and , Hell , he does'nt even live here !
I'm out of the loop. The weather's been shitty (Tho , mild for a Chicago winter , I grant you.) , and The CTA is slower than ever....I recently saw Tutu and The Pirates and The Mentally Ill do a bill together. Everyone came to see Tutu (Popular late 70's comical Punk Band) , but , while they were GOOD , just predictable , I thought The Mentally Ill blew them off the stage (Figuratively.) . Mentally Ill were based in Deerfield , Ill. , released two singles ("Gacy's Place " being their calling card.) , and did their very first gig almost 30 years after forming (The C*nts , arguably Chicago's first Garage revisionist group , kept a comparably low profile for years , as well.)....

Quite honestly, I've had a bad sinus headache all day long, and I didn't sleep too well last night, so death is looking pretty good right now.

You're the one who brought it up, and I'm just responding. I was actually hoping you were going to shed some light on this issue, and that is why I read your post. BTW, I sometimes spell Prevost's name with two "g's" because I get him and Kostelich confused. As for dropping dead, that's going to happen sooner or later anyway. Feel free to giggle if you happen to read my obit.

Alright man!
Thanks for the fotos & reports and all. Hope you get better soon and swing out of the hospital as soon as you can.
