Hey. I have an EPI SG G-400 that I want to toss a new bridge humbucker in. It is made of a couple very resonant pieces of Mahogany - much more lively than most Gibson's I've played lately. How would a C5/'59 hybrid sound in this guitar? I'm looking for classic marshall rock tones, ranging from AC/DC to Fair Warning era Van Halen. Is this a yes or no? THanks guys.

ive never tried a c5/59 hybrid but i think it might be cool. i played an sg for years and those are two of the pups i used in there, thru a good marshall i bet youll get some great tones

I do have a C-5 here in a guitar that I just retired. I'll probably try that first.

The Hybrid will get the AC/DC tone wihout a problem... the regular C5 should do alright as well, but is slightly compressed compared to the hybrid and may lose some of the clarity in the wound strings which is such a huge part of the AC/DC sound...
BTW... you will need a good Marshall and a pair of Black Shorts as well!

killer! i'm running a custom built hotrodded '59 bassman/jtm 45 style head. It has no problem nailing those early marshall tones with the right axe. only thing is that my C-5 is f-spaced. Will that make much of a difference in how it sound in an SG?

Measure the spacing. Some newer Gibby's come with wider than standard spacing, which would work fine with the trembucker.

How wide is standard vs. fender spacing? 50mm / 52mm?
