1968 SG Standard “Blackie” (The Sound of My SGs, “Pilot” Video)

The AY Sigs pickups sounds awesome! But tell me how did the BBQ feel compare to most AY pickups? Was it ”too strong”?

Right now i’am wondering if really the amount of ohms is the key factor, if it does matter so much if it’s 9k ohms or 12-13k ohms or if the most important factors are other stuff into the pickups themselves like the magnets that matters most, or what it could be.

I mean, there is more to the pickup sound than only the amount of windings afterall

Have a look, http://store.gibson.com/angus-young-signature-humbucker/

Alnico V (5) magnet, ”special balanced-coil windings using vintage enamel-like coated wiring that delivers a 1–2 combination of punch and vintage tone”.

The BBQ also uses an Alnico V magnet, but now i’am confused over what really makes the ”Angus” sound so good on the signature pickups, supposly BBQs have been used by him(which can’t be confirmed right?), so he have at least tried them out if so, maybe he did like them and stuck with them for a period if so and then deicided to try out weaker pickups and then got an idea for about what he wanted in his pickups soundwise?

I don’t know if the winding itself is the reason, it could be, but i guess it’s the combination of all parts in the pickup that makes the AY signature pickups sounding so good

Supposly the ohms factor, if it’s 9k or 12-13k might not matter so much if the other parts are similar to the AY signature pickup specs? Who knows

Would be interresting to find out.
