Pickup routing
What are the differences in the location of pickups in an SG and an LP. I'm thinking about routing my SG to have the pup locations of an LP (or at least really close) since I'm making a new full face pickguard for her.

Re: Pickup routing
Some of the 70's SGs had the neck pup right on the neck. That was what my other question was going to be, how close can I get to the joint without worry of it breaking?

Re: Pickup routing
I'd look at it in terms of coil placement relative to the harmonic nodes.
I think on a les paul the coil of the neck humbucker closest to the fingerboard is directly under the harmonic node. Not 100% but I think so.
