epiphone sg400 and pick-up question

[Dark Kingdom]

here's the deal, i dabble in guitar.. i do NOT play it nor pretend to play as being even decent. I come from the old skool punk attitude that learning to play is less as important as getting out your message by easy 3 chord songs. but i do want a decent sound.. i currently have a B.C. RICH WARLOCK "kerry king".. but i want to pick up the Epiphone equivilant to the GIBSON GOTHIC the epiphone sg400. i like the shape and the look of the guitar but i wanted to spice up the pick-ups. a friend has some PRS dragon pick-ups that he said he'd give to really give it a shredding sound. would the dragon 2's work?? and do you agree i'd get the heavy sound buzz saw i'm looking for?

The only way to really tell is take your amp down to a store that has a guitar with the dragon PUP's and test it out. That VHT might act very different with types of PUP's or might not. I had a 5150II and no matter what you plugged into it on high gain....it sounded about the same.

Now I have a Vetta and it sounds very different with each guitar.

Nothing wrong with a 3 chord punk attitude.....keep the spirit alive.
