Just installed a set of these in my 2020 SG Standard.... and I'm not sure what to think TBH. They seem pretty shrill and picky, which is not what I'm expecting.
I'm playing through an Axe FX 3, and while I upgraded the FW, I rolled back just in case it was that which was the issue. However, I'm still getting a pretty picky and shrill output.
Have adjusted bridge height from around 2.5mm to about 5 - 6mm as well.
Pretty certain I've wired them up correctly - I have a CTS DPDT as single coil selection on both tones.
Anyone else have these pups and have experienced the same thing?

An SG is always a spiky trebly guitar so for a page type sound you will have to go down the Les Paul route ,whatever you put in the SG i think you will have that trebly edge sound to it.
Well they're arriving today, so we'll see.
We'll see though - if these don't work, I'll have to find something else. Any suggestions are welcome - I'm after a vintage type sound, and it'll be for classic rock so nothing too heavy.
EDIT; I'm toying with the idea of swapping the Mules out into my Les Paul Custom, and putting the Rebel Yells from the Custom into the SG.... have heard that can give good results.

No idea whether they should work on an SG.

My trading feedback - I'm a good egg
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.
